Summary

This month, we want to take a look back at the remarkable things God has been able to release in our church through the generosity of our community. In 2022, we committed part of our Living the Liturgy Offering to becoming a church that could serve as a patron of the arts and cultivate a community of redemptive artists. We invite you to check out the impact your giving has had over the last few years in the recording.
Through your generosity, forty artists have been commissioned to create new work to bless our church and this city in just two years. We are so grateful for the generosity of this community, and we want to say thank you to everyone who has given through the years; this is your fruit! You can learn more about Living the Liturgy, and how to give today at church.nyc/give.
