As the year draws to a close and have had an amazing Advent and Christmas season, we reflect on the powerful message of our Advent series, “Do Not Be Afraid.” Through this series, we’ve been reminded of the gifts God calls us to embrace and share with the world:
Hope for a world longing for light in the darkness.
Peace that transforms hearts and communities.
Joy that springs from the good news of Christ’s birth.
Love that transcends fear and reaches out to all.
Castle Rock FUMC has been blessed to embody these gifts in our worship, outreach, and community ministries. We were able to help many families through our giving tree and Help and Hope received a great Reverse Advent offering with many items that they need to help families. God has worked through your generosity to bring the light and love to many lives.
As a church, we operate on a fiscal calendar from July to June, which means your generosity during this time sets the foundation for our ministries in the year ahead. Your end-of-year gift allows us to continue planning and supporting vital programs that share God’s hope, peace, joy, and love with our community and beyond.
Every gift matters. Whether small or large, your support empowers us to: share God's love and and light within our community and beyond.
We have a few ways you can support us.
