PLEDGE PAYMENTS - My sincere appreciation to each of you who have pledged in support of our “Family Life Center”. A total of 102 members have pledged 0ver $74,000 presently. Additionally, I have received a “special” pledge. Remember, our goal is 100% participation. I have already received pledges and monies from former members and friends. I truly appreciate their magnificent response. I am especially elated that many of our single sisters have each pledged $1,000.00. Pledge amounts presently range from $4,000.00 to $10.00. This is just outstanding, God does not look at the amount, He looks at the percentage. Therefore, each of us can please God! A total of $55,000.00 has already been paid. Please be sure to mark your Offering Envelopes in the column indicated to clearly indicate your pledge payments so that it will be recorded accurately. Our building fund continues to be necessary as this is the fund for building maintenance. Thanks! -jhd-
