Every year our church has a generosity focus in the season of Lent to give to a place of particular need. Sometimes we have focused on global needs (the war in Ukraine, the earthquake in Turkey, orphanages in Nigeria), and sometimes we have focused on needs closer to home (raising money for a new roof for a local church, or helping newly arrived refugees and immigrants settle into life in Madison).

Who are we giving to?
This year, we are partnering with a team sent out from our diocese to the Middle East. One of the families on this team (Peter, Rachel and their kids) visited Christ Church last summer, and shared about what they've seen God do.

For their safety, we are not able to share details of the work they're doing in print or online, but we encourage you to reach out to Dcn. Kaitlyn if you'd like to learn more over the phone or a cup of coffee - it's truly amazing!

What are we raising money for? 
This team has several facility-related needs that we can give towards, including furnishing the Non-Profit office that serves as their platform to be in the country. They hope to be able to use it for English classes as well as career development and educational courses of various kinds. Another tangible need is an air conditioner for the room they use for Sunday services as a house church. (It will start getting quite hot around Holy Week.)

Let's bless these brothers and sisters, and the people God has called them to serve, by relieving the stress of adequate facilities.

Put a cash gift in an envelope, writing "Lenten Gift" on the outside. (Please include your name if you'd like to receive a tax receipt.)

Make out a check to Christ Church Madison, with "Lenten Gift" in the memo line.

Drop it in the offertory basket during the service.
