We will be having both services on January 1st. 9:30 and 11:00. Here are some special notes about this Sunday:
Look forward to seeing you in 2012!
We are almost half-way to our Year End Gift goal of $51,800!
I am really praying that EVERYONE who calls Team Church home will grab hold of the rope and help us pull against the cultural Tug-O-War that is giving vs receiving at this time of year. Every hand that grabs the rope, joins the team and does what they can…… helps us in this very attainable church wide goal. Together, we can run into 2012 with energy and the financial means to purchase much needed equipment that will propel us into another great year of ministry.
The great news is this: although we are almost half way to our financial goal…..we still have way more than half of those who call Team Church still yet to give!
Why is that good news? Because it means that we still have hundreds of people who can still contribute something.
Year End Gift is about everyone doing something. No gift is too small. It is true that some people pray and then God does ask them to give a large sacrificial amount. Some T.C. people transfer to the church end of the year stocks to sell before December 31st. Those large gifts are much needed to hit this goal…….but so is every other gift given. The highest percentage of people pray and then give something over and above their normal monthly giving. You may think that what you can give seems small when compared to the large goal. However, when many people give something…..it adds up and our goal is reached!
Many hands….makes light work. Many hands also insures we meet our goal of regular monthly giving and our Year End Gift! I am confident that we can finish the year with our regular budget giving being enough to cover all outstanding bills from 2011 and hit our Y.E.G goal! Let’s all pray and then give as God directs.
You may give at our Christmas Eve services or mail it in anytime. Anything postmarked December 31st will count toward your 2011 giving for tax purposes.
Get ready for a wonderful Christmas Eve service and Merry Christmas!
What gift can you bring to lay at Jesus feet this Christmas……. as you like the Wise Men “Come To Adore Him.” Here is a gift that does not cost you any money….but it will cost you much!
It is a statement of determination and prayer made by a pastor who was later martyred in Zimbabwe Africa. This was found in some letters after his death:
“The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made-I’m a disciple of His! I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes since and my future is secure. I’m finished with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, depend on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and labor with power. That’s what it means to be a disciple of Jesus”!!
Here is a like minded quote from Jim Elliot. He was a young missionary who was killed at age 28 while sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Ecuador. This was found in his journal a few days after his death.
What are you giving to Jesus this Christmas?
