Gainesville First, you are blessed with an outstanding and talented church staff who strives year round to be salt and light in our church and the Gainesville area. During the first weeks of Advent, you will receive a Staff Love Offering envelope with your weekly bulletin on Sundays. Will you prayerfully consider brightening your church staff’s Christmas season with a monetary gift? If possible, we would like to receive your offering by Sunday, December 16. Thank you for who you are and for your generosity. - Frank Norton, Jr., SPR Chairman
