Harvest Time

Time is flying! April is here which means that we are in the public phase of the capital campaign. All of the praying, talking, events and information have been leading us to this time where many of us will make our commitments to the capital campaign. As you consider everything you have learned over the past few months, here is an encouraging update from Dori Baggs on one aspect of the campaign. Since the beginning we have heard about the role of children in the campaign and they have continued play an important part in it. (And don’t forget to visit the “Catacombs Canteen” which will run the first two Sunday’s in April during coffee hour and after the 11:00 service. Grades first, third and fifth will participate in the Canteen on Sunday, April 6th. Grades second, fourth and sixth will participate in the Canteen on Sunday, April 13th. You will have the chance to buy baked goods made with the children’s seed money and all proceeds will support the capital campaign.)

You should have been in the catacombs last Sunday. The children were very excited sharing the different projects they were engaged in and how much money they have made for the capital campaign...in one week! These children are excited because they really see and are beginning to understand that God can actually use them to accomplish big things...even though they are young! Just imagine where that type of faith will lead! Each of these children is like a tiny mustard seed...the journey of faith (yes, Elmer, even the children are on one!), they have embarked on will yield a crop!
