First of all, if you have not heard, the amount pledged for the “The House” Campaign was $537,000. Praise God! The good news is, we expect more pledges to come in this week. We will keep you updated. We did come up short of our goal of $700,000. I had a lot of people tell me they wanted to pledge, but because of the economy, simply could not. There is no question, this is a difficult season for many. But we are confident in God’s direction and thankful for His provision.
Please be praying for the Elder team as we decide on next steps for the building. We need to see the final pledge amount and we are going to get actual “hard” bids on the expansion. The actual bids, we believe, will be lower than our projected cost estimated for the expansion. Let’s pray they are a lot lower. We will keep the communication lines wide open. But we need your prayers!
I loved the energy, the excitement and worship on Sunday! There is no question, God is moving in our midst! Let’s keep praying and believing for great things and for lives to be changed. I have never been more excited about our church!
Remember: Jesus is alive and the back of the book says, “We win!” Let’s live like it!
