Pearl Offering Goal: $30,000
|
Preserving the Precious Pearl
of our Ministry
On October 24/25th we will
receive a special additional Anniversary "Pearl Offering" to sustain, protect
and ensure our important ministry that is transformative and
life-giving to so many. In Matthew 13:45-46 Jesus says: Again, the
kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on
finding one of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought
it.
Consider the possibility of giving a one-time additional gift to
support and uphold that which we value and is precious to us. TOGETHER
we can reach our goal of $30,000 to protect our vital ministry assets and offset the shortfall in our budget due to tenants in our building that are behind on their rents.
Please prayerfully consider giving a gift at one of the following
levels (or perhaps greater):
$5000
We need 2 gifts at this level for a total of $10,000
$1000
We need 5 gifts at this level for a total of $5,000
$500
We need 11 gifts at this level for a total of $5,500
$100
We need 50 gifts at this level for a total of $4,000
$50
We need 70 gifts at this level for a total of $3,500
$25
We need 80 gifts at this level for a total of for a total of $2,000
208 gifts TOGETHER from the people of God=$30,000
Praise God!
We already have received an ADVANCED COMMITMENT for 1 gift at the $1,000 level.
