Dear Christ Church Family: 

We pray this Advent/Christmas season is uplifting. Advent is a time of preparation, a time to make our hearts and homes ready to receive and celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ, the One who has come, is present, and will come again. 

As we approach the end of another year we write to encourage you and seek your support with regards to your financial investment in the mission and ministry of Christ Church. Because of your generosity, Christ Church has been able to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our Faith Community, Fort Lauderdale, and the World! Through your extravagant generosity, people we know by name, and those who remain nameless, have come to know the love, hope and joy of Jesus, whose birth we embrace and celebrate. Thank you!

As we come to the end of another year, may Christ Church end the year strong financially. If you have fulfilled your 2025 financial commitment, and can give a little more, we pray God will direct you in taking this step of extravagant generosity. If you have yet to fulfill your 2025 commitment, we encourage you to do what you can prior to year's end. Thank you for your commitment to Christ Church and our Lord. 

In addition, we leave you with a reminder that the IRS is very clear that donations must be postmarked by December 31 in order to be eligible for your 2025 tax deductions. You can make your end of year donation in multiple ways: 
place it in the offering plate in worship; mail your donation by Wednesday, December 31; bring your donation to the church/school office (Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm); give through the Christ Church website: christchurchfl.org/give.

It is a privilege to serve in ministry with you. May God continue to bless you this Advent/Christmas season, and may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts and in our world!

Christmas Blessings,

Pastors Cathy and Doug
