We celebrated a mile marker in The Journey Friday night! We invited all our leaders of ministries at church to attend an advance commitment meeting. In 1 Chronicles 29, King David was preparing to build the temple. When they received the offerings to build the Leaders of Israel gave first (vs. 6-8). "The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD." (vs. 9). So we have followed that pattern and asked the leaders of the church to let us know what their commitment might be on Celebration Sunday. From 17 households, 30 people who are leaders in our church, we already have commitments of $99,700. That is GREAT! Thanks to all who participated. I want to encourage you to keep praying about your commitment on Celebration Sunday. Every person's commitment is essential, no matter the size. We expect equal sacrifice, not equal gifts.
