Pastors Message for January
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
"Cold December flies away," as the song says, and a New Year is upon us! Welcome to 2012! At the beginning of a new year, I give thanks for each of you and your commitment to our community of faith. In the last quarter of the year, we caught up from a $35,000 deficit and now begin the year with money in the bank. More importantly, our mission to serve Christ and the Church never missed a beat. There were more goosebumpy moments in December than I could possibly tell you about in a newsletter, but we extended Christ-like love to many of our members, neighbors, strangers and friends. Thank you!
At the beginning of the year, I would also like to extend a word of thanks to our staff. I am grateful to serve with each of them! And thankful that our work is seen as an extension of our baptismal vocation to be the face of Christ in the world.
Take a Second Look campaign has been extended!
When was the last time you looked at our worship space?
Take a second look!
After many years of joyous, engaging, contemplative, praiseful worship, wouldn't it be great to start 2013 with a spruced up worship space by refurbishing our seating?
So, take a second look at that pew...you know, the one you always sit in...
- Considering sponsoring its complete refurbishment for $425.
- You don’t take up that much space? How about committing $212.50 for half a pew or offering $106.25 for a quarter of a pew?
- Like to sit in the back? How about sponsoring the reupholstery of a chair for $75?
Our goal is to gather pledges for $16,635 to cover all costs for reupholstering and restoring the 33 pews and 37 chairs in the worship space. Commitments are due by January 29, 2012 for work to be done in fall 2012. Please complete the pledge form found here, and place it in the pew-shaped box in the narthex.
Take a second look, and make a commitment today!
