As of November 21^st 72 faith promises were received totaling $89,803.20.

In 2002 62 faith promises were received totaling $65,490.

This promise of increased giving is a major step towards meeting our financial needs.

During his address at a 1999 Leadership Network event in Dallas, Bob Buford said, “I think that God will ask us two questions when we get to heaven:

1. What did you do with Jesus?

2. What did you do with what I gave you to work with?

“Each Christian has two conversions.  In your first conversion you say, ‘I accept Jesus Christ.’ That is what Jesus was saying to Nichodemus: ‘You must be born again.’

“In your second conversion you commit yourself to begin using the gifts God gave you to work with. That is what the book of James says, ‘Faith without works is dead.’

The congregation met and elected as ELDER: Chuck Gzemski, Shirley Hoppes, Tracy Horvath, Linda Jones (2^nd term)

DEACON: John Breece, Gary Conger, Robert Ramsen (2nd term)
