In just a two weeks we will be making our commitments to Catch the Vision for 2009. We’ve come a long way in just 7 years. We had hoped to pay off our debt within 5 years. That didn’t happen but here is what we have accomplished:
In 7 years we have gone from $560,000.00 to just $70,000.00 in debt.
We have increased our budget each year.
We have increased our mission giving.
We are now helping a struggling sister church on a monthly basis.
We are investing in a new church start.
We have handled some major renovations.
We’ve done significant roof repairs.
We are completing a new playground.
We’ve become a major gathering place for the community.
Your faithfulness has made all this possible. The end is clearly in sight. I’m asking that you prayerfully consider what you can do this next year to help eliminate our debt. Our motto for 2009 is “Let’s wrap it up!” This year we are not asking you to sign a pledge card. We are not asking you to fill in an amount. We are asking for a commitment. The commitment simply says, “You can count on me to do my part in wrapping this up.” Together we can do it. As always I only asked that you give as the Lord leads you to give.
I’ll see you and your family as we gather for worship this coming Lord’s Day.
