Gratitude Weekend!

Gratitude Weekend is this weekend!  (Please forgive me for the wrong date on the letter you received this week.)  In spite of that error, this is Gratitude Weekend!  I hope you have spent some time praying and pondering God's blessings to you and your family.  When I carve out time to do that, I'm always amazed at how good God is to me! 

This weekend, we'll have a chance to express our gratitude by returning a portion of God's blessings through an Offering Card.  You should have gotten an Offering Card in the mail this week.  Please make it a part of your prayer time, too.  It's an opportunity to say what you intend to return to God through your church.  Please bring the Card to church this weekend.  There will be a worshipful time to present this to God.  (If you forget your card, there will be another one available at church.  If you can't be at worship, please mail the Card to church.)

There will also be a small gift for you.  It is simply a way to express the appreciation of the church for your faithful support.  I know you don't support the church in order to receive thanks or gifts, but the church wants to present this keepsake as a way of saying how very special and important you are!  It really is a beautiful gift and one you will cherish for years to come! 

So I look forward to seeing you this weekend in worship as we continue to Soar!

Blessings,

Marv Vose
