We had great meetings last night with our stewardship campaign leadership. I am thoroughly thrilled at the commitment level of our church family. There are close to 150 people involved!
Our theme for the campaign (that we are introducing Sunday) is: "Moving forward by faith."
We desire to propel the idea that we are moving forward with our vision to relocate, a vision that has been on the hearts and minds of our church family since 2004.
And also...it's by faith.
Several things are happening that encourage us.
We had the largest giving month for December that we have had in years.
As I said, close to 150 people are involved in the stewardship campaign.
It's great to receive news like that in the midst of an economy that say, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling," and a culture that is apathetic and lethargic.
Let's not forget that in 1973, we as a church were the catalyst in seeing a great ministry (channel 38) begin with a $135,000 offering on one Sunday. What I want us to remember is that - that miracle took place in the midst of a deep recession in our country, oil embargoes, and inflation. Yet, God did a miracle.
We are asking God, "One more time," do your thing!
Also, I have been asked the question several times recently about going into a smaller facility.
In actuality we are going from around 40,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet, it's just that we are doing it in three phases, phase one being our current plan that we are looking at - 28,000 square feet.
It's exciting. Again...will you join me in this venture? Our goal is to enlarge our nets, so that we can reach the entire south land for God!
