  Why Now?
• 12.
  Why Now? • Notbecause we are in financial trouble! • Our “new building” is now 20 years old! • Maintenance has been done and more is coming! • Remodeled foyer • Driveway sealed and restriped • New carpet in auditorium • New carpet in small auditorium • New floors in education building & office
• 13.
  Why Now? • Missionsis always among our priorities! • Helping those in need is also among our priorities! • Because we haven’t lived up to our responsibilities in this area!
• 15.
  What Do WeNeed To Do? • Evaluate if you’re giving as you should. • If you purposed at the beginning of the year to give so much per week, have you done that? • Evaluate your ability to help us make up this shortfall.
• 16.
  How Do WeDo This? • We have 11 Sundays remaining in 2018 – Give a little extra every Sunday. • November 11 we will have a special day of giving to make up as much as we can in that one day. “Balance the Budget” day!
