My Gifts Matter!...for Christian Education
The youth of our church represent our future. Like plants in the soil we must carefully sow the seeds of faith and nurture their growth as we ensure that we pass along a thriving community of faith to the next budding generation of caring Christians. Christian education is the path we commit to provide to ensure that our church is inherited by those to come. Additionally, we need to provide continuing education for our congregants of all ages as we strive to become a better church today which promises a better church tomorrow. While it is tempting to define Christian education in terms of our commitment to church school and Bible school experiences, we are universally thirsting to increase our knowledge for Christian growth throughout our religious existence. Our recent narrative budget reveals that we dedicate 23% of our resources for Christian education. Your gifts matter as we support this essential component of our Christianity.
Will you support our church with your pledge to grow our mission and meet the new challenges of 2020?
Please prayerfully consider how you may be a partner in this ministry by returning your 2020 pledge information before November 9, 2019.
