  2. Annie Armstrong Easter Offering – Annie Armstrong (1850-1938) was a trailblazer for missions and missionaries, advocating in ways no one ever had. She invited Southern Baptists to step into the story with her, believing that everyone had a role to play through praying, giving, and going. Pick up a guide in the foyer to learn more about the Annie Armstrong offering and how it supports missions work across the United States.
