THANK YOU FOR SERVING!
We loved seeing your comments on social media and hearing that LoveLoud is one of your
favorite events/days of the year!
So many of you (over 500!) sacrificed a good chunk of your Saturday to spend it serving others in the name of Jesus.
The 30+ projects varied in size and scope but they all had this in common:
your efforts blessed the people and organizations you served.
Your time and presence mattered! Your kind words, smiles, and handshakes warmed hearts and told others that they are important--more important than football, errands, and Saturday chores. So thank you! Thank you for loving our neighbors in ways
they
can hear!

Dear Shandon Family,
I hope you were able to join us this past Sunday for the launch of EVEN GREATER. (If you weren't able to be there, take a minute to
watch this helpful video and join us this Sunday for week 2.)
If you were there, I hope you saw tha
t I am totally committed to helping our church successfully navigate through this pastoral transition season--something our church has only done 3 times in the last 92 years. The stability of our pastoral leadership is one of the hallmarks of this great church. This is a critical time in the life of our church as we seek the man God is calling to take Shandon into the future, and I have complete confidence in the transition team to do this faithfully and well.
As we look to the future, we must maintain our ministry momentum and plan for the arrival of the new leader. EVEN GREATER is our plan to do just that. I want to do as much as I can during my remaining tenure to ensure that Shandon is in great shape, spiritually and financially, as the new pastor begins his.
Accomplishing this will require all of us making generous, sacrificial, faith-filled commitments over the next two years. Our goal is 100% participation because we believe God wants to do something incredible in your life as you take this journey of faith with us. The amount you give is nowhere near as important as the heart of trust with which you give it.
No matter where you are now as a giver, I encourage you to step up in faith to a new level of giving.
Over the next four Sundays, the sermons and Sunday School lessons will take our church through the explanation, motivation and implications of EVEN GREATER as we study what God's Word teaches us about stewardship. Please bring your Study Guide with you each week (they'll also be available throughout the building). The 5-week emphasis culminates with making our commitments together as a church body on Sunday, October 23.
Will you commit now to making a commitment on October 23?
Start praying about what commitment the Lord will lead you to make. For Patty and me, this will be the second largest gift we've given to this church, and it's our joy to give to God sacrificially. Whatever commitment God leads you and your family to make, I pray you do it with joy and trust.
I love being your pastor!
