Friends: You can help us end this terrible year on a beautiful note. Giving Tuesday is just two weeks away (Dec. 1). Real news that honors God is so important right now — in the midst of a physical plague and plagues of misinformation. You can help keep the news flowing by planning a contribution to the Chronicle before the end of the year. Better yet, would you consider a matching gift for our Giving Tuesday efforts? You can inspire others to be an active part of this ministry.  Please email me directly at [email protected] or call me at (405) 425-5074 for more details. — Erik Tryggestad, president and CEO
