A Sense of Urgency

During our committee meeting Friday morning we were filled with a jolt of energy when we realized:

There are only 13 days left before we are to close on the house*!

Our last update shows that we are only at 57% of our goal.

Many visits have been made, but there are still many pledge cards that have not yet been returned. While we appreciate that you have been asked for sacrificial gifts and are thankful for your careful consideration, we need to know where we stand. Whatever you give is graciously accepted.

If you still have your pledge card, please bring it to church on Sunday and drop it in the replica house. We will announce at the close of each service our grand totals . (For those of you attending the 1st service, the total after the 2nd service will be posted here as soon as I get home from church.)

Our goal is to round that $200,000 mark on Sunday.

If we all do our parts, we can.

Please continue to pray.

*Please note that while we are closing on a "house," what this house really represents is church life : the ability to include seniors, youth, and those needing private counseling (or intimate conversation) in church programs.
