Welcome!

Welcome! Whether you were directed to this blog by someone at Tenth or just happened to stumble across it, I'm glad you found us. I can joyfully report that Tenth's members approved the capital campaign motions at the January 27, 2008 congregational meeting. As Tenth's capital campaign is now officially underway, there will be a lot of information dispersed to the congregation in many different forms. This information is valuable and vital to understanding the purposes of the campaign and to assist you in deciding what your commitment should be. This blog is designed as a supplement to those communications to show some of the ways God has used Tenth Presbyterian Church to work in the lives of its members and others associated with the church. It will also showcase aspects of different projects that the campaign will support. It is our hope that reading these personal testimonies and hearing about the projects in a more informal way will excite and inspire you. Furthermore, hopefully seeing a glimpse into some of the lives of Tenth's members and friends will serve as a catalyst for actually meeting these people and hearing more about their stories.

While we hope to share the stories of many, I will be the primary host of the blog. My name is Sarah McInnes and I am a member of Tenth. My husband and I are former members of Parish 1 and now reside in Parish 6. I will do my best to provide you with regular posts and I hope that you will check in frequently. (You can also receive the posts via email by signing up at the "subscribe via email" link at the right.) As you can see, I have added the bulletin inserts as background, along with some links for more information about the projects we will support.

Please feel free to email me with suggestions or questions at thispeople2008@gmail.com and I will make sure to share your email with someone that can answer your question. Also, as you may have seen in the bulletin you can also contact the following members of the Capital Campaign committee: Marion Clark mclark@tenth.org, Brian Esterly brian.esterly@rcn.com, Philip Ryken pryken@tenth.org, Elmer Snethen esnethen@cantol.com.

We are embarking on an exciting journey together as a congregation and I am honored to be able to assist in highlighting just a few of the ways that God has been working in the lives of His people at Tenth. Be sure to check back soon!
