Missions Spotlight
Help provide a month of meals; together we make a difference!
You may not buy a whole lot with $25 these days, with one huge exception. For just $25, you can provide one month’s supply of food for a child living at Marissa’s House in Uganda!

Help them reach the goal of providing 100 kids, ages 4-18, with nutritious food this holiday season! Stop by the Marissa's House table before or after service on December 19th, and/or make your donation today.
New Impact Opportunity
Wells Elementary is asking Legacy Church to connect with their students. Mentors meet weekly or bi-weekly during the student's lunch or recess time for approximately 30 minutes. This is not academic mentoring. Mentors can bring your lunch and eat with the student; the time with the student is to visit, play games, read books, etc.

The school will go over the process and policies, once your volunteer application and background check is completed. They need mentors, especially male mentors, desperately for the next semester - so fill out a Volunteer Application today!

If you have specific questions, please email [email protected].
Christmas Eve and End of Year Services
Celebrate the Wins

Thanks to your faithful giving to the general fund, in addition to our monthly giving to our mission partners, we celebrate:
  • Local Church Catalyst - $3,800 in support of their water plan projects

Emily's Place
Once again we are able to support our Emily's Place mission partner by adopting families for Christmas. With your generous gifting to the general fund, we joyfully shopped for 18 children and eight moms. Thank you to our amazing wrapping team (Jan Barber, Claudia Eckert, Darla Koelewyn, Andrea Krause, Mildred Mathias, Leslie McGill, and Patsy Weinberg).

Operation Christmas Child
Congratulations Legacy Church, you made a difference! This year we sent 338 shoeboxes (318 physical and 20 online) to children throughout the world, sharing the good news of Jesus with them. We contributed to Collin County exceeding their goal of 17,777 boxes with an unofficial count of over 21,000 shoeboxes! Thank you to Teresa Kristof and her team of volunteers (Bruce, Caleb, and Josh Crossman, Sarah Frazier. Matthew Gordon, Dan and Gail Harlin, Gaelle Pameni, Larry and Cheryl Pryor, Rosalea Robinson, and Mike and Patsy Weinberg) for an amazing and very successful campaign.

Personal Evangelism Class Celebration
After attending the Personal Evangelism Class, one church attender/member shared the Gospel with someone, who then accepted Christ as their Savior. The next Personal Evangelism Class will be offered February 2022.
2021 Year-End Giving Reminder

  • ACH or credit card contributions given on-line with a “creation” date of 12/31/21 will be considered received in 2021 and will be eligible for a 2021 tax deduction.
