Update on the 4th QUARTER  CHALLENGE
This past Sunday we had a great group stay after church for our chili lunch. The elders announced the financial CHALLENGE ahead for us in the 4th Quarter of the year. We are asking that each family turn in a "My Giving" card. One side indicates "I'll try tithing." The other side is to participate in a special offering for our 4th Quarter Building Challenge.

Update: So far 51 families have turned in cards (our goal is 146 families) and pledged  $40,550 (goal of $90,000).

We praise God for early commitments and gifts. We have a long way to go to meet this essential year-end mortgage payment. Will you turn in your commitment this Sunday to express your love and support of our shared ministry?
