You've been hearing a lot about the GO Fund Campaign. In this installment of my

About
Purpose and
Strategy, I'll provide a succinct summary of what we're doing and why. In a nutshell, it is a plan to fill the gap between a bare-bones budget that is based on realistic income projections and the commitment needed in order to take hold of all God is calling us to be and do.
We live in reality and won't play pretend. A friend down south just told me that his house was appraised at only 40% of what he paid for it 5 years ago. We know that these are tough times yet we also know that God is giving us great opportunities for ministry. There is no denying the difficulty in this economy. But, as Christians, we live in God's economy!
I've got boys running cross country at Claggett Creek Middle School and McNary High School. When I go to see their races, I'm impressed with how much the young athletes stretch. They want to do their best and finish well.
If we want to run the race to win, we need to stretch as well.
Let's join together and GO beyond what is comfortable and convenient! For more information on the GO Fund Campaign, talk to one of the elders in the lobby this weekend.
1 Cor 9:24 - "Run in such a way as to get the prize."
Heb 12:1 - "Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
