Consider 9/11 Offering for Church Planting

by | 11 August, 2011 | 0 comments

There”s still time to participate in the Orchard Group“s “Love Prevails” offering on Sept. 11. That Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., churches will participate in a special giving campaign to fund new church plants in NYC and around the country. Some churches will take a special offering, others will give 9.11% of their regular offering that day, and others have committed to making a special gift before the end of 2011.

“From New York, the greatest city in the world, we want to plant more churches in more cities,” writes Orchard Group. “We want to remember the tragedy, celebrate the good God has brought forth from those fields of terror, and work toward a future where the love of Christ prevails. Evil strikes. But God wins!”

Visit www.OrchardGroup.org for videos, a sermon download, and complete information on the campaign.
