It's not too late! Coordinate with Paul to get your donation into this container. Partner with Missio Dei Church and Harvest Bible Church as we seek to
bless the Camiola's in their ministry by filling up a 20 foot trailer
with supplies! We will be collecting items at worship every Sunday through May 2nd and
then getting them ready to be sent over there! See the attached flyer
for more information! |

Stewardship Update
| |
|
One of the things that the leadership is working hard at is being transparent with the financial provisions that God has given us to steward for the sake of the Kingdom. At our next Leadership Community on Saturday, May 15 (RSVP HERE), the Stewardship Ministry will give a more detailed explanation of how we as a church are doing in our first quarter of 2010, but we wanted to give you a little bit of a taste of what is going on before then.
As you might know, we have budgeted $132,000 for our general tithes and offerings. This is for general operating expenses for the church and its mission. To make that budget, we have asked for $11,000 per month ($132K/ 12) or it can also be calculated out to needing $2,538.56 per week ($132K/52).
You can note that if we are calculating what we need per week (17 weeks into the year at this point), to meet weekly budget (17 weeks x $2,538.46) we would need $43,153.82. So on the positive side we are ahead +$272.07 for the year in weekly giving, but for monthly giving we are behind -$574.11.
One of the things that we are also working towards is seeing our goal of 50% of whatever comes in goes right back out. At this point in the quarter we have sent out or have available to send out (benevolence) $5,896.39. That is 12% of whatever has come into the church through financial gifts! That is not even counting the numerous ways you have been generous on your own! That is incredible!
We still have plenty room to grow, but on a whole we are doing pretty good! I look forward to seeing how we as a church will grow in response to the Gospel in our personal lives. I pray that as the Gospel continues to impact us in large and small ways, it will propel us further and further into the mission that God has laid out before us!

Second Tuesday Prayer Night
| |
| RSVP here
We believe that prayer is a vital part of worshiping our Savior. We
want to be people who are in communication with our God as we drive, as
we go to class, as we work, as we spend time with family or friends. We
believe that God listens to, cares about, and responds to the prayers
of those who know Him. Second Tuesday is our monthly time of guided, extended, corporate
prayer. We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 7 pm. We will be
meeting in the Library of Peace Community Church (our parent church)! |
