This Tuesday was giving Tuesday!  This is a time once a year where all non-profits are invited to ask for donations. This is a great time to give to our special ministries or our Rainy Day fund as we look into costs for 2024. 

If you feel the desire to give - you could give to one of these ministries below or to the operating fund that makes sure these ministries happen!  Click here https://www.stcolumbakent.org/....
