Faith Promise Commitment

In dependence upon God, I will endeavor to give the amount designated towards the missions efforts of Woodinville Community UMC between November 2014 - October 2015.

I understand that the Faith Promise is over and above tithes and offerings given to the general budget of the church and that the Faith Promise does not include amounts I give directly to missionaries. I understand this is a faith agreement between God and me. $ ___________________________

The Open Door Class invites all to a special Advent series by Adam Hamilton

Imagine Jesus from Mary’s point-of-view—proud of her son, in awe of his gifts and mission, guided by love for him as a person and so much more. Adam Hamilton begins at the end, with Mary at the crucifixion and resurrection; travels back in time as she witnesses his life and ministry; and ends at the beginning, with the Christ child born in a stable, Mary’s beautiful baby. This year, experience Advent and Christmas with Mary. 5-Week Series begins on Nov. 23 at 9:00 AM. Contact Don Morgan to order a book. $15 dsmorg2@comcast.net or 206-902-7039
