LETTER FROM STAFF
Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson | Director of Young Adults

It's that time of year: the time we start planning for the great things we're hoping to do next year. We're thinking of some cool stuff, including learning a little bit more about you and what makes you tick (stay tuned). But to keep humming along, we need your help. End of year gifts are a primary way Boundless makes a way for new opportunities and ministry. Would you help us out by giving a financial gift as we move into the new year? Remember, your gift is totally tax deductible! Thanks so much, and Merry Christmas from my laptop on the kitchen table to yours. :)

Content(ish) Single

Amber Vandermaarl

I'm starting to realize that what I've named contentment is really something more akin to selfishness.
