This Sunday, October 16, we celebrate Generosity Sunday and collect our annual special missions contribution to support churches in Europe. Our mission and purpose in Christ are threefold: save the lost, strengthen the saved, and serve those in need. To spread the gospel in hard-to-reach places, we donate toward planting new churches and strengthening congregations. Our collective goal in the NW Mission Center is to give 10x our weekly budget by the end of the year. Please pray, and then decide in your heart to give as much as you can in good conscience and in faith. For more information and inspiration about the European Missions Society please see www.euromissions.org.

How to give:

·       Online at https://give.bostonchurch.org (select the missions fund for Northwest)

·       Mail your check to Boston Church of Christ, 214 Concord St, Framingham, 01702

·       Give in person on Sunday morning

Note: If writing a check, write “Northwest missions” on the memo line.

You can also give a post-dated check via mail or in person. The church admin will deposit your post-dated check on or shortly after the date on the check.

Make a pledge, if you can satisfy it no later than December 31, 2022.

·       Pledge at https://give.bostonchurch.org (go to the Giving History & Pledges page, then “Click here to make a 2022 Missions Pledge”). After your pledge is recorded, you can make payments and track your progress.

·       Email your pledge to missionspledge@.... Include your name, pledge amount, region name, and date you plan to fulfill your pledge.

Kids Contribution: We encourage parents to include their kids in giving, even if it is giving a bit of pocket change—it can help teach a child’s heart and help them to have reason to celebrate too!
