“Fundraiser Meal”

believe logo_CMYK SuperstartCome join us for a fundraising lunch after service Sunday, February 9 in  fellowship hall. There will be a Candy Heart Jar Guessing Game and a (Not-So) Newlywed Game with some interesting people! The students will be serving you lunch and doing the clean up. All you have to do is come for the fun.
There is also a board in the foyer with numbered envelopes. It’s easy. Just take an envelope, fill it with the dollar amount represented by the number on the envelope and drop it in the box on the table! All donations and funds raised will go to help cover the costs of CIY Believe and SuperStart, so we can keep the prices low for families and have an incredible time while we’re away!

Sending the Porters Back to Poland

IMG_3381The Porters would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended the time of sharing about their mission work last Sunday, and to all those who are supporting in prayer and financial giving. They are now just $1700 short of being able to purchase airfare! To help close that gap, Mission Store items and a donation jar will still be available in the office hallway for the next two Sundays. In addition, Monica McMullen will give a fundraiser and fashion show with Premier Designs Jewelry on Sunday, March 29 after second service in the Friendship Classroom. Plan to join the fun and help finish meeting the financial need so we can send the Porters back to Poland!

Porter Poland Progress!

Thank you doesn’t begin to describe the gratitude for the dozens of people that contributed food, helped set up and clean up, but also to the 80+ people who attended and gave so generously.  We shared some slides of trips to Poland and talked about the work God is doing that we are so blessed to be part of.  In the end we raised $2806!  Just $194 short of the amount we still needed for our airfare, and that gap should be filled when I collect money from bracelet orders this week!  What a huge blessing that we can purchase our plan tickets.  I just confirmed that the price hasn’t started going up yet.  Poland… here we come!

We still have $2500 needed for ground transportation, lodging and ministry expenses.  Rumor has it that a couple of RCC Sunday School classes decided to support us this morning, which is not included in this total and should help move us toward that.  Again… thank you!  We’ll need to cover this amount by early May, so your financial support is still needed and appreciated. We’ll make big announcements when we reach the final goal, but you can also follow our progress on our FINANCIAL SUPPORT page.

We can’t begin to express our gratitude.  If you had any part in this … from prayer, to helping out, purchasing a bracelet or a donation of any amount – we thank you.  You are growing the Kingdom of God.
