Original Christmas Gift Offering Invites Year-End Giving Through Gold Jewelry
The Original Christmas Gift offering at 2|42 Community Church in Howell, Michigan, invited members to give unwanted gold jewelry as part of a special year-end giving opportunity. Inspired by a note from someone helped by the church, the offering connected generosity with the gifts brought to Jesus by the wise men.
- A personal note of gratitude inspired the church’s offering opportunity.
- Members were invited to give unwanted gold jewelry over two Sundays.
- Proceeds from the gold will go toward end-of-year giving.
“Being a part of this church has changed my life! I am in a very difficult financial place right now so finding an extra $20 is hard. I do, however, have these rings to give. Thank you, I have been able to make it through the darkest time because every Sunday you are all here for me.”
Inspired by this note, the team at 2|42 Community Church (Howell, MI) created a special year-end offering opportunity—“The Original Christmas Gift.” Just as the wise men gave gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Jesus, members were encouraged to bring their gold (in the form of unwanted jewelry) the past two Sundays. 2|42 will sell the gold and all proceeds will go toward end-of-year giving.
