Hello Church,

Over the past few Sunday services, Pastor Jay (in video) asked us all to pray and consider giving financially to our New Life General Fund in three ways:

1. Will you become a regular giver to our general fund?

2. If you’re already a regular giver, will you consider increasing your giving?

3. If your financial means is above and beyond your normal giving, will you consider giving a special year-end gift to our general fund?

If you’re wondering why the focus on the general fund this year, I thought Jay put it great when he shared, “The general fund fuels our ministry and brings kingdom impact throughout the church. For example, through the general fund our youth experience God through the SpringHill youth retreat, scholarships help students attend fall retreat and spring breaks, events like Sunday Palooza are made possible, we support missionaries overseas, and invest in our partnership with the Collegiate Church Network that runs our summer LT program, Leadership Training at Silver Bay.”

In addiiton, we plan to utilize giving that is above and beyond the monthly budget in December to replenish the general fund AND our benevolence fund (which is used to help with physical needs in our church community).

Thank you for considering!

Nik, on Behalf of the Elder and Minister Team
