Yesterday was incredible! Our services were off the charts, and then last night we had our "Only One Life" fellowship banquet. Let me explain this as best as I can. From Jan 2006 thru March 2006 we did a building/spiritual growth campaign called "Only One Life". It was designed to raise the funds to construct Phase 2 of our facility. It ws a huge success. We had over 2 million dollars pledged. But since last year we have grown a lot, so we decided to do a one night banquet to let the newer people know how they could be involve. We had dinner catered which was served by some of the students in our youth ministry (way to go all of the people who volunteered to serve the meals, watch kids and set up tables, etc!!) after that we watched the video of the new building and cast the vision of Foothills, and why we are building this new facility. We did not ask people to give anything last night. You read that right, we did not ask anyone to give anything last night! We asked them to give-----but ONLY after they went home and prayed about it and then had a family conference. We set April 15th as the date for the new pledges to be turned in. I have no idea what will be given, but I am trusting God to do beyond whatever I would dare to ask or hope (Eph 3:20)
By the way, we hope to see some construction started in the next 30 days.
