Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Thank you for your continued giving to the church.

Servolution Report
Servolution Report: This year we adopted Marvin Elementary and set a goal to equip each classroom with the supplies it needed for the beginning of school.
Today we were able to deliver the supplies to Marvin! We were also able to donate gift cards so they could identify needs and purchase the items. The principal expressed her appreciation and gratitude.
Thank you First Assembly family for giving so generously to bless the students and educators at Marvin.

SERVOLUTION
AT FIRST ASSEMBLY
First Assembly is always looking for ways to connect with, support, and serve in our local community. We call these opportunities SERVOLUTION.
BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE-This year we adopted Marvin Elementary and set a goal to equip each classroom with the supplies it needed for the beginning of school. We were able to deliver paper, erasers, scissors, glue, crayons, markers, pencils, and folders along with other needed items that were all donated by members of our church. We were also able to donate gift cards with money that was donated. Thank you First Assembly for giving so generously to bless the students and educators at Marvin.
BLESSINGS GIVEAWAY-First Assembly joined with several other ministries and businesses in Waxahachie to bless people with food and goody bags for their family and kids during the Holiday Season. The event was a drive through where volunteers loaded up cars with bread, produce, milk, meat, and games and activities for the family. Thank you to all who supported the event and volunteered.
SAGU OUTREACH– First Assembly joined with Chick-Fil-A to provide lunch for 300 SAGU students in October. We enjoyed our visit to campus and our connection with the SAGU community!
BACK TO SCHOOL BACKPACK GIVEAWAY-First Assembly joined with Canales Furniture Store, Heart and Home Ministries and others to buy supplies, stuff backpacks and hand them out to students in Waxahachie.
PLEASANT HILLS CHILDREN’S HOME – First Assembly was able to provide a generous love offering to the home for ongoing expenses. Mike and Eulessya Miller, the owners of Ennis Janitorial blessed PHCH by donating and delivering a full palette of much needed paper goods and cleaning supplies! Thank you to the Millers and to everyone who gave to make this servolution possible.
RESPIRATORY THERAPIST APPRECIATION-BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE, WAXAHACHIE- First Assembly was able to give each therapist a gift box and provide pizza for every shift as our way of saying thanks to all the health care workers who are on the front lines keeping us safe. Thanks to Jordan E.’s Popcorn and Candy Company for helping us make the gift boxes extra special!
FOSTER FAMILY GAME NIGHT BAGS – In an effort to provide a much needed break from the strain of the current restrictions we were privileged to put together a fun filled Game Night Bag for the Ellis County Division of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Your faithful giving made this possible. Special thanks to Heidi Dollar for organizing and facilitating this outreach!
SALVATION ARMY FOOD PANTRY – Because of the generous donations of our church family we were able to provide much needed food items as well as a cash offering to help the Salvation Army with their operating budget. The Salvation army is feeding many more people due to the pandemic and is doing an incredible work in our community.
MISSIONARY BLESSING – We had a unique opportunity to bless our missionaries to Belgium, Blair and Dina Bonin. They traveled to Waxahachie to spend time with family during the pandemic and we were able to prepare their apartment that they will live in for the next few weeks that they are here. Thank you to the volunteers that made all of this possible.
WAXAHACHIE POLICE DEPARTMENT-We were honored to bless some of our heroes during this crisis and show appreciation for their service and sacrifice. We committed our church to pray for them and gave them hand sanitizer that was donated by Brandon Gazaway.

OUR CORE VALUES
We unashamedly and uncompromisingly strive to be:
BIBLICALLY BASED
God’s Word is our guide, authority, and conscience in everything we do. Psalm 119:105
FULLY DEVOTED TO CHRIST
We measure our success by our full devotion to Christ and our ability to be and make disciples. Luke 9:23
GROUNDED IN GRACE
We acknowledge our complete dependence on the goodness and grace of God. We have experienced it, therefore we eagerly extend it to others. Ephesians 2:89
PASSIONATE ABOUT WORSHIP AND PRAYER
We are called to exalt Christ as the center of every aspect of our lives. John 4:23 We believe the attitude and action of prayer is essential to everything we do. Colossians 4:2
COMMITTED TO PEOPLE
We believe that people matter to God, therefore they matter to us. Jesus came to seek and save the lost and has left us here to do the same. Luke 19:10
FOCUSED ON MINISTRY AND SERVICE
Every believer is a minister and we believe that the Holy Spirit has imparted to each one a spiritual gift; empowering and equipping us to minister out of our gifts and passion. 1 Peter 4:10, Colossians 3:17
A PEOPLE OF EXCELLENCE
Because God gave His very best for us we offer excellence in our service to Him. In serving Christ, love will always be our motivation and excellence will always be our goal. Psalms 29:2
Because God gave His very best for us we offer excellence in our service to Him. In serving Christ, love will always be our motivation and excellence will always be our goal. Psalms 29:2
