Commitment Weekend
Growing in Grace is the theme for our Capital Campaign. The purpose of
Growing in Grace is to grow in our faith as we seek to be good stewards
of
all the gifts God has given. 10% of all funds received will go to
Outreach,
10% will go to the Maintenance Reserve Fund to help provide ongoing
facility
enhancement and 80% of all funds received will go to reduce our debt on
the
facility.
We will be having a 24 hour prayer vigil in the Parish Life Center, beginning on Friday May 16 at noon. Please sign up for an hour of prayer on the posters near the church entrances.
As we gather in worship on May 17 and 18, we bring our commitments for the Growing in Grace campaign.
Our 10:30 am services will be combined in the Parish Life Center. Following that service,
we will have a Congregational Celebration featuring a cook-out,
games, wagon floats, and lots of fun.
You may read the Campaign Overview here, and
a letter from the Directors here.
You may download the giving guide here,
