At the heart of FBC Beaumont's Gift of Hope season lies a deep desire to share the good news of Jesus Christ. As we joyfully prepare to celebrate Jesus’ birth, we encourage you to carry this message of hope to your family and friends. The "Gift of Hope" is more than an event; it is an invitation to build meaningful relationships and create opportunities to share the gospel.

 Ask God to bring a specific neighbor to mind. Then, bake cookies, brownies, or other treats to share. Deliver your baked goods along with a heartfelt invitation for them to join you at the Candlelight Service. It's a simple, warm gesture to share the light and joy of the season with someone nearby.

Prayerfully consider writing letters or Christmas cards to homebound partners and widows in our church. If you would like to participate in this meaningful ministry, don't hesitate to contact the FBC Office to obtain a list of names and addresses. Let's make this a season of connection and love.

 This year, consider sharing the festive spirit by preparing and delivering a warm meal to someone in your community. A simple act of kindness can make a world of difference to those who are sick, lonely, or elderly, bringing comfort and connection when it's needed most.  

This Christmas, take a moment to pray for those who matter most. Choose a few friends, family members, coworkers, or neighbors, and spend a week praying for them. As a simple gesture of your care, consider giving them a small gift and letting them know you’ve been praying for them.

Take a moment to think of 3-4 people who have had a significant influence on your life. This could be anyone from a community group organizer to a close friend. Write a heartfelt thank-you note to each of them and deliver it either in person or by mail.

 Attach your favorite Bible verse to candy canes and hand them out at school or work. This small act of kindness can brighten someone's day and share a meaningful message of hope and faith during the holiday season. It's a sweet, thoughtful gesture that combines a festive treat with an uplifting word.
