meet with our lender
Last Wednesday we meet with our lender. Not much specific came out of the meeting. But they did reaffirm that they want to help us keep the property. Unfortunately their level help may not match our ability to pray. Keep paying

March Giving Update
Thanks to everyone who is supporting Growing in Faith. We actually exceeded our Growing in Faith commitments for the month of March. Members committed $6893 a month, but $7408 came in. It’s good news, and came at the right time. Regular giving for the month of March was weak, and the Growing in Faith helped close the gap.

Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who is giving to Growing in Faith. As you know, right now it’s taking both our regular giving and GIF giving to keep our church going.
We know that both the church and it’s members are facing financial challenges that most of us have not seen in our lifetimes. But with your help we’re keeping the church afloat and focused on our mission of making disciples.
Some good news - As part of this new round of Growing in Faith, members committed to give $6893 a month. In March, we’ve already received $6300 and we still have a week to go. So thanks to everyone who is giving, each week your generosity is making a difference.

Commitment Sunday
On Sunday we're inviting members to make a financial commitment to our church. We're calling this project Growing in Faith. If you're planning to participate in this Sunday's offering, here are a couple things to know.
1) Please use a Growing in Faith Envelope - Use a Growing in Faith envelope for your one time gift and your commitment card. This will ensure that all giving is correctly recorded.
2) Growing in Faith envelopes and commitment cards are available in the lobby. If you need a card, you can grab one before the service in the lobby.
3) Write "I understand" on the commitment card -At last Sunday's service, we laid out a new priority for how Growing in Faith giving will be used. The giving will go first for our church's needs here and now, and second for moving ahead with our future church home. Let us know that you understand these priorities by writing "I understand" on your commitment card or check. If you already sealed the envelope, write “I understand” on the outside of the envelope.
4) We'll be having one offering at the end of the service - You can place both your Growing in Faith gift and your regular giving in the offering bags when they are passed at the end of the service.
5) There are several ways to help.
- Make a one time gift this Sunday.
- Make a commitment to increase your regular giving - you can indicate this on the back of the commitment card
- Make a commitment to give over and above your regular for a set period of time. You can indicate that length of time on the commitment card. The card is set up for a three year commitment, but you can cross out three years and write in a time period that works for you.
5) Fill out your commitment card online - if you won't be on Sunday, make your commitment online here.
6) Make your gift online - We have an online giving option - for more information check out here.
