Every dollar from our Christmas Eve offering will be split evenly between paying down lunchroom debt at our local schools and offsetting the cost of the summer camps that our students will be part of next June.
Place gifts in offering basket or give boxes, or make a donation online at connecttothevine.org/give and be sure to mark your gift with "Christmas Offering".

Reflection Questions:
1. When have you felt like a misfit or like you simply didn’t belong? How did that experience affect your view of yourself and others?
2. Rudolph’s uniqueness became the very thing that saved Christmas. What differences or past struggles in your life could God use for His purposes or to bless others?
3. Who in your life might feel unseen, unheard, or unloved right now? How could you intentionally show God’s love to them this week?
4. How have ordinary moments in your life been opportunities to experience or share God’s love? How can you be intentional to look for more of those opportunities in the ordinary?
5. Do you personally feel fully known and loved by God today? If not, what keeps you from accepting that love, and what step could you take to experience it?
