MIRACLE SUNDAY

CONFUSION

As Bo said Sunday there were miracles on March 15th as the congregation responded.

But there may have been some confusion about the objectives of our Miracle Sunday and we apologize for that. There were two objectives that we had hoped to achieve.

Objective One: To receive as a minimum enough in three (3) year pledges to cover the monthly loan payments for three years or more.

Objective Two: To receive one time donations (not part of the pledge) that could be used to pay down principle thus saving in interest cost.

With what was pledged and one time donations we have close to 90% of what is needed for three years of payments. The pledges received for objective one cover 70% of payments needed and we feel that may be because of the confusion as we received quite a few donations for objective two with no pledge being made.

We are still working toward our Miracle and if you would like to make a three year pledge please turn in to the Church office or put it in the offering plate. It can be paid weekly, monthly or annually. Or if you would like to make a donation to objective two just mark on your check or envelope Miracle Sunday.

MIRACLES ARE HAPPENING EVERY DAY

Thanks For Helping Make the Miracle Happen
