What is the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering?

The offering was started in 1895 by Woman's Missionary Union® (WMU) to benefit the work of the Home Mission Board (now North American Mission Board). In 1934, it was named in honor of Annie Armstrong, a bold missions advocate and WMU's first national executive leader. Today, more than $2 billion has been donated by Southern Baptist churches and individuals to support thousands of missionaries in church planting and compassion ministries. Because of this sacrificial giving, millions of lives have been and continue to be transformed by the power of the gospel. Our church goal of $3,000 has been met and exceeded. With your help, God's story will be shared with many.

Crosses representing the unheard cries are placed on the church lawn. Sanctity of Life emphasis is celebrated during the month of January. For more information on how you can get involved visit foothillscarecenter.org
