And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. So we urged Titus,just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving” -- 2 Corinthians 8:6-7

NYE Pic 1This past New Year’s, the singles ministries from the Seattle Church of Christ and the South Sound Church of Christ (Tacoma, WA) had the privilege of hosting an event for the singles in the Northwest churches. This is the second year that the two churches have teamed up to plan and host a New Year’s celebration. In addition to the party being a time for the disciples to reach out to friends and celebrate the New Year in style, it also served as a benefit to raise money for HOPE worldwide.

Event planning and advertising over Facebook began in October, and in less than three months the New Year’s Party was underway with over 150 singles in attendance! Those guests included disciples not only from some of the Northwest churches –Seattle, South Sound, Portland, Spokane, and Bellingham– but also disciples from California, Virginia, Florida, and Maryland.

Over $2,100 was raised for HOPE worldwide, which was more than was expected! The Seattle and South Sound Churches’ Singles look forward to God doing even greater things this year!
