Here, There, and Everywhere Offering

This Sunday

As a part of our annual stewardship rhythms, we take a special offering during the Thanksgiving season known as the Here, There, and Everywhere Offering.

We’ll be presenting our offerings to the Lord during services this Sunday. This is always a special time as we come forward, signifying giving not only our finances but also ourselves to the Lord for His purposes. We urge everyone at FAC to take some time to prayerfully consider what the Lord would have them give!

This offering is above our regular tithes and offerings and used for very specific initiatives. This year’s fund will be invested in contributions towards:

• Here: Purchasing a new shuttle for our church as we continue to shuttle from other lots on Sunday mornings. Our former shuttle bus is no longer viable.
• There: Purchasing a van through the OVD for our Lexington Congolese C&MA church as well as presenting gifts to several of our local partners.
• Everywhere: Alliance Missions through the Great Commission Fund (GCF). To hear more specific stories of impact from the GCF, listen to the message from this past Sunday where Pastors Tyrone and Heather shared about God’s work globally through the C&MA.

The online fund will be open until January 5, 2026 if you need to give at a later date. We are excited to see God’s work furthered Here, There, and Everywhere through this offering!
