What’s Ahead CONSECRATION SUNDAY TODAY, Sunday October 30th Celebration Chili Fest Lunch to follow the 11:10 service TODAY is our annual Consecration Sunday. We invite you to join us immediately after the 11:10 worship service for a Celebration “Chili Fest” Lunch served in the Fellowship Hall. Don’t worry if you didn’t bring any chili, just bring you, your family, and your appetite! Consecration Sunday is when we get an opportunity to practice the spiritual discipline of giving. Specifically, we do this by filling out and turning in our “Estimate of Giving” cards. This is an estimate of how much you think you can give to the Lord through His Church this coming year for mission, ministry, and worship. As well as being an “outward and visible sign” of the generous hearts that the Lord Jesus calls us all to, these cards are also very helpful to the church in calculating the budget for the coming year.
