Staff Love Offering

As members of Midway, we’re blessed in ways too numerous to count! Our growth as followers of Jesus and as a community is supported through the dedication, love, and faithful work of Midway’s staff. The close of the year is a good time to reflect on how our staff has ministered, encouraged, and inspired us in our faith journey during the last twelve months.

If you would like to express additional appreciation for what they do and as you are able, we are holding a Staff Love Offering to which you can contribute this month. Now and through December 24th you can include a gift in your offering during the worship service and be sure to designate that your gift is for the “Staff Love Offering.”  

Thank you for considering and thinking of our awesome staff and for the work that they do!
