The Ocala District Superintendent, Chairman, and Finance Board members congratulate the members of Believers United Church of God by Faith in Winter Garden, FL and their leaders, Elder Andrian and Lady Sheila Jones, for their exceptional 85.83% participation in the annual district fundraiser. We are thankful for the support provided by each of our churches this year, which has played a role in maintaining our district treasury. We anticipate and expect heightened participation next year. District-level giving enables the district to extend vital financial aid to our district churches facing challenges, until they can regain their footing. Again, we say THANK YOU!
