Lottie Moon Offering & Banquet

White Oak Baptist Church will host a banquet in the McCarter Fellowship Hall following the morning worship service. The church will provide the main course and you are encouraged to bring a side dish and/or a desert. RSVP here.

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is an annual offering collected by Southern Baptists to support international missions. The offering was officially named in 1918 by Woman’s Missionary Union in honor of the missionary to China who urged churches to start it and give sacrificially. White Oak collects the offering all month long, both with envelopes and online, then forwards the collection to the International Mission Board of the SBC.

Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence.

She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®.
