I am not sure if it has come quickly for you, but it is only 10 sleeps until Christmas Day.  As 2011 comes to an end, I just wanted to remind you that this Sunday (December 18) is the last week that we will be collecting a financial offering for the year. 

We will not be collecting an offering at our Christmas Productions; however, if you come prepared to give we will be ready to receive your offering at the Welcome Centre.

So I invite you to consider what God would have you give as this year comes to a close …

 

This year's budget was set just under $2.035M dollars. Here is where things are at as of September 30.

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to share something very cool that happened recently in our community.  As part of our weekly financial offering, there was some money that was donated anonymously along with the following note:

"Dear Lord,
I've been saving for a rainy day.
Thank you for blessing my life with so few rainy days and for allowing me to realize the rainy day I was saving for was not necessarily my own.
Amen"

For so many in our community, giving financially is a significant part of what it means to participate in a lifestyle …
