As the words of the song says, "We've come this
far by FAITH, leaning on the Lord, trusting in His Holy Word,
He's never failed me yet, Oh, oh, oh, can't turn around, we've come
this far by FAITH."
Thank God, we now own 2-1/2 acres on 11th Street West,
and we still have ongoing financial obligations in order to build and
furnish our new sanctuary.
By FAITH, I see this congregation marching into
our new sanctuary on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. We all
will be singing songs of praise, giving thanks unto God and lifting up
the name of Jesus.
We have now entered into Phase 2 of our Building
Fund. In order for us, with the help of the Lord, to accomplish
all of the above, I still need your financial giving over and above
the tithe and offering from EVERYONE in the congregation.
Again, I thank you for your previous contributions, however, EVERYONE'S
FINANCIAL HELP IS NEEDED!!
I thank you all for your continued trust and
confidence in me as your pastor. Thank you for your continued
loyalty to the vision that God has given me to build this sanctuary.
Each month you will be updated as to funds received.
Again, I ask that EACH ONE OF YOU continue to
pray and that EACH ONE OF YOU contribute financially as the
Lord leads YOU.
2 Corinthians 9:6,7 and 8 says: 6"But
this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and
he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7Every
man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not
grudgingly or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful
giver. 8And God is able to make all grace abound
toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may
abound to every good work."
In His Service,
Pastor John H. Paxton
