Thank you, faithful givers, for your generosity. Our goal is to impact our world for Christ, in our community and beyond, so that many may meet Jesus and take hold of the life that is truly life! Our monthly giving for the first 3 weeks of August is $53,588.26. Our monthly target to support our spending plan is $72,050. Giving was especially strong in July, and the Stewardship Team was able to begin building our reserve fund.
 
“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” – 1 Timothy 6:18-19
