INTRODUCING
BLESS OUR BUSINESSES
The church is called to not just be in their city, but to bless their city. You are invited to a city-wide all-church invitation to bless the local businesses of Ripon.
"Bless Our Businesses" is a city-wide initiative, intended to help our city's hurting businesses, and show the love of Jesus through his church. Every dollar raised will be given away to struggling businesses in our community.
Here's how it will work:

"Bless Our Businesses" is a city-wide initiative, intended to help our city's hurting businesses, and show the love of Jesus through his church. Every dollar raised will be given away to struggling businesses in our community.
Here's how it will work:
- STEP 1: Over the next four Sundays, each church's leadership will pray and seek the Lord for generous hearts, and that our city will be introduced to the love of Jesus through Christian generosity. Then on September 27th, churches will take up a free will offering. This is a special offering apart from general giving.
- STEP 2: Each participating church will be asked to provide a representative that will form a benevolent committee to help give oversight as funds are released. All of the church representatives will meet to distribute the funds as they are provided.
- STEP 3: Businesses will fill out a short application to help us get to know them and their financial needs. There is a max gift of $10,000 per business. No strings attached: just radical love from Christ to our businesses from the local church.
