Here, There, and Everywhere Offering

Next Sunday, November 16

As a part of our stewardship rhythms, we take a special offering during the Thanksgiving season known as the Here, There, and Everywhere Offering. This offering is above our regular tithes and offerings and used for very specific initiatives.

We urge everyone at FAC to take some time to prayerfully consider what the Lord would have them give!

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).

We’ll be presenting our offerings to the Lord during services next Sunday. This is always a special time!

The online fund will be open until January 5, 2026.
