One year ago we spent 2 months as a church asking God to:
· Guide us in our role in sacrificing to build a facility
It was a highlight time for many of us. I don’t think we have ever been tighter as a community. Our Father enabled us to trust Him and pledge to give $1.2 million during a 3-year commitment from April 2007 to April 2010. As encouraging as that was, the 78% participation rate, was my most personally encouraging number. We were all stunned and overjoyed!
During the first year of our “above tithe” giving to Journey of Faith, God and you have been faithful and we have corporately given $485,000. This has radically and positively affected the amount of money that we are in need of borrowing to begin construction. Thank you!! And praise God!
Not only has there been tremendous progress toward building from a financial standpoint but also a great deal has been accomplished in other areas during the last few months. Our building plans have received final approval from
We have much to give thanks for and celebrate. God has been good to us.
Both the 9:00 & 10:45 worship services will include:
· Re-commitments from all who made initial commitments in 2007
· New commitments from all who are newer to
Enclosed is one pledge card that will serve all of us. Some will use one side to make a re-commitment and some will use the other side to make a 1st time commitment.
Also, during our “Live Together Time” between services, we will be enjoying a Micro Fiesta complete with cake, punch, and piñatas for the children. This is a wonderful day to bring friends along to help give them a sense of what Christ is doing in our midst. There will also be artist’s renderings and floor plans of the new facilities on display.
Grace to you,
