First, because of the many weeks spent dealing with money and giving during the Exponential Project, we have chosen not to have our annual Celebration Dinner (of course, we have been celebrating each week all that God is doing in our church!). It seemed asking again for pledge cards (for the 2012 budget) from people so soon after the campaign may be both confusing and overwhelming. However, we still need to know what financial commitments we have toward the 2012 budget, so there will be a time in January for all of us to make that commitment. You will be hearing more about this soon.

Second, we have come to realize many people wait until the end of the year to make extra financial gifts to the church. That’s great! If you are one of those people, we want to encourage you to give either to our regular operating budget or you may direct your year-end giving specifically to the Exponential Project. As you know, we are keeping the campaign alive for the next three years and are still working toward our goal. Just make your check out to “Cornerstone Church” and put “Exponential Project” in the “for “ line. If you would like to give through a stock donation, we are prepared to handle that as well.

We are so grateful for the generosity of our church. It’s important for all of us to remember that when we give out of love for Christ, obedience to Him and a desire to see lives changed, something spiritual happens in our church. God takes our gifts and uses them as a part of His redeeming work in this world. The result is a child who hears that God loves them from a teacher in a creative, fun Kidztown environment, a youth who finds a safe and encouraging place to grow in Christ, a college student who is strengthened by our ministry to withstand the pressures of college life, a marriage that remains intact because of the love and support of couples in their small group, an outreach to our community that brings light to dark places and a partnership with people in Buloba, Uganda, that is bringing hope to the hopeless and raising the bar on our understanding of the call of Jesus to “go and make disciples”.

We’ll leave you with this from Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Pressing on,

Nic Cofield, Finance Team Chairperson

Rusty Hutson, Lead Pastor
