“The
ONE
Campaign”
Investment
in the Future
“Never
be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord”. Romans 12:11 (NIV).
s Pastor Dave has often mentioned in his sermons, following
Christ involves commitment on everyone’s part.
Last Fall, the church’s Stewardship Committee launched “The
ONE
Campaign”, urging one hundred percent of the congregation to
“commit” to serving Christ in any (or all) of three ways:
-
ONE
Ministry
-
ONE
Person
-
ONE
Percent
We could make excuses for ourselves, i.e., “I’m too busy” or
“let someone else do it”. But the truth is that commitment
to serving Christ through the local church anchors us in the
storms of life.
There are various ministries to become involved in. Check
them out by contacting the individual(s) in charge.
Bring
ONE
person to church with you. Bring people to hear the truth
told in an easy-to-understand manner.
“Go out into highways and countryside and urge everyone you
find to come in, so that the house will be full.” Luke
14:23 (NLT).
If possible, increase your giving by
ONE
percent and trust God to provide for all of your needs.
Aren’t you thankful that Jesus was willing to commit to you?
Remember: this is your church. I would like to
quote here what Pastor Richard said at the November 8th
Council meeting: “What do we want our church to be known
for in the surrounding communities? A beautiful building and
a tremendous program or as a church that cares about the
needs of the people in the communities with love and
compassion in action?”
Are you making contributions to the cause of Christ
or have you made a commitment? Have you committed to
Him your time, talents and treasures?
Please prayerfully consider this important (and vital)
campaign.
Thank you!
