Offering for New Chairs

Our current burgundy chairs -- that make brides shudder -- are riddled with broken welds, mismatched fabrics, protruding screws, worn padding, rips, and 40 years of butt dust. They’ve served us well. But have you ever considered who paid for the chair that supports you each week? Odds are most of our chairs were paid for by men and women of faith who have since graduated to Heaven! With eyes of faith, they gave and invested in both their own discipleship and the discipleship of those who would follow. Each week our chairs are used by men and women to hear the Gospel and grow in faith and family -- through Sunday mornings, Celebrate Recovery, Set Free! Retreats, Christmas Dessert Nights, and more! Our Church Council has set this year as the year to retire our [...]
