All Things New

What a historic night the Rockin’ the Dream Banquet will be on Saturday May 21st, 2022.
Rhonda and Ted are driving back from Central Oregon to give us a mini concert.  Man, do we miss Rhonda’s music! She will play a medley of hymns on the piano, as only she can do. How blessed we are to have Rhonda minister to us. Eliot and Chelsea will be there to teach us the theme song for this spring sermon series: “All Things New”.  We will also introduce our new Families Pastor, Mark Nsimbi. He is a talented young pastor who is more than we could ever have dreamed of drawing to this job; and he will introduce his amazing wife Anne and their two daughters.

This year’s Rockin the Dream’s goal is to raise, through special gifts, the money to renew our restrooms. This is a top priority for reaching new people. New people want to see an updated restroom which is safe, looks clean, smells fresh, and looks like the church cares.  We can’t have a great caring network with decaying restrooms.  We are raising money for a new fire alarm system as our old one is due for an upgrade and after 20 years - it is time. We are hoping to put in new fresh flooring throughout the church and maybe a new sound system to make a better worship experience. One person has donated $35,000 towards that new system already. We also raise our lease payment for our sanctuary at this time.

When we give to Rockin’ the Dream, above our normal tithes and offerings, we begin to explore that territory.  It’s the vehicle that many will start giving to at first, but for many of us it is the opportunity to investigate the territory of being blessed so that we can bless. Again, our targets for this year are:
1. Bathrooms
2. Fire Alarm System
3. Flooring
4. New Sound System

Come to Sunday service either on-line (You Tube, Facebook Live or church Apps) or in-person at 10:30am we will have exciting news to share from the banquet. We will have an uplifting sermon, beautiful worship and each other. See you there.

Your friend for the rest of my life,
