Retired Missionaries and Minister Offering 2024

“Remember the wonderous works that God has done.” 1 Chronicles 16:12

Together we remember. RMMO is about celebrating, thanking, and lifting up our servant leaders. The offering originated in the mid-1930s as the Communion Fellowship Offering and since 1977 has been known as RMMO. The RMMO funds FBC collects are distributed as thank you checks to retired ordained ministers and commissioned missionaries who have devoted 15 years or more to ABCUSA, as well as surviving spouses. A certain portion of funds is also allocated for direct emergency assistance. This year we will collect this offering December 15th to January 12th.

FBC has a long history of supporting not only retired missionaries and ministers, but offering a faith family once the minister has retired. Over the years, we have had as many as 10 retired ABC ministers and/or widows in our midst. This year, we celebrate the service of Rev. Dr. John Curtis, Rev. Glenn Harms, Rev. Cheri Grizzard, Rev. Dr. Janice Hazekamp, Rev. Roger Strunk and Rev. Diana Strunk, and Janie Rempel.

Thank you for supporting this annual offering.
