A Note from Maranatha Ministries
To my Grand Point Family,
I wanted to express my thanks, not just as Director of Maranatha Ministries, but on a personal note. We received the Christmas Eve offering check today and I am humbled, stunned, and speechless at the generosity that was presented. This means so much and is very appreciated, and will help our ministry enormously!
A heartfelt thank you,
Audra Green

We are so thankful for the support of Grand Point Church and your generous donation from the Christmas Eve offering. Because of you, we will be able to address food insecurity in the surrounding communities, provide meals for the 70 plus families we serve for months to come and, fund our future outreach efforts.
Thank you so much!
Amanda Timmons
