By making this investment, you commit to the success of the church’s overall mission of enriching the spiritual lives of the congregation and the community. The activities of our church require a large financial investment for our beautiful, but old, church building, the spiritual leaders of our youth and music programs, and our mission work. Our youth ministries, inspirational music programs, dedicated staff, and most of all, our finest traditions of relishing the glory of God in our lives, are still there but look a little different. On Commitment Sunday (October 24) we celebrate the exciting opportunities for the church as we stream forward with new technologies that we can utilize now and in the future.Ĭhrist is always with us, and our church is always there for us as well.

On the surface, of course, these cards are about our giving. It is time for the friends and members of First Church to complete our pledge cards for 2022. But it is rightly the first part, for the biblical standard is that we offer to God our first and our best. It is a wise and godly management of every gift of God for His purposes.
