Christmas at FBMaryville
The world God made is bursting with abundance. Oceans that never dry up. Backyard mounds with half a million ants. Galaxies that appear as pinpricks in the night sky but stretch 6 quintillion miles across. We live and move and have our being in a crowded, extravagant cosmos.
Into that teeming world, God gave the only gift that could outmatch it: His Son. The One who needed nothing gave to those who needed everything. The gift that cost Him everything was given to those who could pay nothing. This is how God gives — without measure, without hesitation, without holding anything back.
This Christmas, we encourage you to be that kind of giver. The Holiday Giving Guide is designed to help you toward that end. Take it and use it as a first step toward a life where giving is not just a season, but a way of life.
Remember, you are never more like Jesus than when you are giving and forgiving.
Check back often as new events, service and giving opportunities, and information will be added at a later date.

Collection Dates: October 4 - November 15
