Now What?

Nancy Siegel, a member of the communications committee for the capital campaign, provides us with a glimpse of what we can expect in the coming months. So, buckle your seatbelts, we’re just getting started on this ride!

Last Sunday, nearly 480 members attending the Congregation meeting gave almost unanimous approval to undertake the $4.4 million Capital Campaign. We praise God for His leading and look forward to continued spiritual growth as we embark on this journey of faith.

April 20, 2007 is Commitment Sunday when we will formally collect the commitments from the Congregation. Leading up to that event, there will be a number of activities that are planned to inform the members and friends of Tenth so that we can prayerfully determine what God would have us pledge toward the Capital Campaign.

We want to provide information in a number of ways. On Tenth’s website, you can find a wealth of Capital Campaign information including copies of the previous bulletin inserts, the strategic planning committee report and a detailed list of the capital campaign projects. We also anticipate a number of luncheons, geared toward newer members, in which Dr. Ryken will share his vision; campaign praying tours; dessert meetings focused around specific campaign projects; and a seminar on planned giving, tentatively scheduled for March 1.

An important goal of this campaign is spiritual growth, both individually and corporately. With that goal in mind, we will be providing a devotional guide which will aid in prayer for God’s guidance as you consider your level of participation.

Our children – Tenth’s next generation of leaders – are also part of the Capital Campaign. During the Bible School hour, the elementary children will learn what Scripture says about children’s contribution to the body of believers. They will be challenged to participate themselves in this important mission of the church.

This is an exciting time in the life of Tenth Church. Join with us in rejoicing in God’s rich blessings and ask that God will increase our faith as we begin this journey together.
