Quartly Mission Giving
Mission of the Quarter GiftBeing part of a Christian community invites more than simply showing up; it means becoming co-owners and co-creators with God. The Kingdom is not about us. The mission of every follower of Jesus was given in Matthew 28:18-20, which tells us to go and make disciples. Each quarter, Blue River Community Church designates 10% of weekly giving, which for this quarter was about $1,200, to support missions and needs within our own Columbia City community. This commitment reflects our belief of Knownig God, Loving Neighbor, Living Justice, Forever. This past quarter, we were about to provide for TROY school here in Whitley Co. in several ways, thanks to your faithful giving. A third of the funds went toward purchasing school supplies for both students and teachers. These included pencils, paper, markers, folders, pens, binders, and even playground equipment. The remaining two-thirds of the funds are being donated directly to TROY to assist with purchasing laptops for students. While their need is large, we were able to provide enough funds for 4 laptops for students in the coming school year. This act of love and generosity is a direct result of your continued faithfulness in giving. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in Columbia City. Together, we’re feeding both bodies and spirits and making a real difference in the lives of local children and families. If you ever have ideas for how we can continue to serve our community through this quarterly mission giving, we’d love to hear from you.
