Words from Chuck
Dear Crossbridge,
I want to tell you how thankful I am for your generous hearts! You did a marvelous job on the Christmas Toy Drive this year! Those toys will go to My Brother’s Keeper Outreach who this year is serving over 1000 families with their Christmas outreach! Through your generosity and the partnership of other local churches we are able to bless many families who are in need.
As the year is winding down I wanted to remind you that all financial gifts have to be turned in or postmarked by 12-31 for you to receive tax credit. As you are thinking of being generous this year I would ask for you to consider our Advent Offering. We are seeking to raise money to put toward a fresh water well with Living Water International (water.cc), gather scholarship money for 2012′s youth and children’s camp and build our benevolence fund so that that we might continue to bless those in need. Be sure to mark your checks “Advent Offering” so that we are aware of your desires.
One more thing for you to consider is giving extra toward our general operating fund as we are absorbing our building debt into it. Extra given towards that will help us pay off that debt as soon as possible.
Also a quick reminder of our upcoming gathering schedule, as this Sunday will be our last regular worship gathering of 2011. We will gather to light the candle of joy and finish our reflection on Isaiah 9:6. Our Christmas Eve services will be at 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. I hope you are taking the time to invite people to join us for these services. We will not have services on Christmas Day and we will only have 1 family worship service on January 1st at 10:00 a.m. Our regular Sunday service schedule will resume January 8th!
Waiting for Him with you.
Chuck
