This Sunday we are asking our church to make a 6 month pledge to our C2 (C2 – The Next Chapter) capital campaign. The original campaign was for 3 years. We are now entering our last 6 months of that 3 years.
Many of our guys made huge commitments to C2 that have not materialized for them. These are people who really had a plan and worked hard. But it’s a different economy now.
So we decided to give everyone a “year of jubilee” and have them reconsider what kind of pledge they could make for the last 6 months.
We wanted to take any guilt off of them for not keeping a pledge. We also want them to think clearly and pray about what they could do for the next 6 months.
The pastoral side of me doesn’t want to put undue pressure on anyone if they are struggling. The apostolic side of me knows we have to keep advancing the kingdom and reaching people for Christ.
No matter what is going on in the world around us – it’s still vital that God’s people stay full of faith and maintain a willingness to advance the cause.
Looking forward to Sunday

How's that go... Me casa, su casa?
God has given us the keys to His place here on Earth,and said make yourself at home. He made one simple request of us...make it Glorious.
Thanks Pastor Kirk for making that priority,and for making it such a pure pleasure to give all we can, to build His House
