| Giving at Mt Hermon |  Traditionally, giving during the summer months has been below the monthly minimum. It appears that is true this year also. If you missed a Sunday offering, please "catch up." If you go out of town, please mail your offering to the church office before you leave.
Please Pray for hearts that grow closer to God and grow in giving back to Him ever more generously, especially as we pray over a ($15, 337) deficit.
Thank you for supporting God's work in the world through the ministries and mission of Mt. Hermon Lutheran Church! |
