Here at Central Triad Church we make it a point not to take up special offerings throughout the entirety of the year except for one very specific occasion; our Legacy seed offering in December.
I am Challenging each of you to participate in this Legacy Seed Offering.
This seed offering is not about me or us; it is used to impact those who are hurting, who need help and those who have never heard the Gospel both here in the Triad, the US and overseas.
In all of this we want each of you involved helping us accomplish this vision by giving in this seed offering sacrificially. We work as hard as we can to create margins in our organization but our pace is determined by the pace of your generosity.
Thank you; you are an amazing Church and Annette and I Love you deeply. Keep doing what you're doing, keep serving, keep loving Jesus the way that you do and as God provides continue to give what God has put on your heart.
Begin to pray about what God would want you to give in December as a part of Legacy.
- Pastor Michael S. Kelly, D.D. (h.c.)
