Fully Alive!

COMMITMENT SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9th!
This weekend marks the next step in our Capital Campaign: Commitment Sunday. We invite you to prayerfully consider helping to ensure the Faithful Future of our congregation. Please bring your pledge cards with you as we worship together.

If you are unable to attend worship this weekend, you may drop off your commitment card at the Church office at your convenience.

"Lord Jesus, we celebrate You and the coming of Your kingdom among us. Grant us Your wisdom and discernment throughout this capital campaign. Stir our hearts with the Holy Spirit to be generous and united. Bless our efforts to ead current and future generations to a full life in You, and may You alone receive the glory for all that You accomplish through us. In Your dear name we pray. Amen" – Campaign prayer from Pastor Randy Rozelle

Each ornament lists the wishes and needs of individuals along with any special instructions for the gifts. The trees will be up starting the weekend of November 15 & 16, and all gifts should be returned to the church by Sunday, December 14.
Round Red Ornaments — A child from Jehovah’s School, Good Shepherd Christian Academy

ESTATE PLANNING
We can face competing priorities when we think about planning our estates someday. The big decision to make is whether an estate plan is merely a legal/financial activity or is it an activity of faith. When you read a will or trust, you read carefully crafted words by attorneys who look to direct legal and financial affairs in accordance with the law of your state. But is there more to your Christian estate plan than simple direction of assets? Do you wish to provide opportunity for others, family members and those touched by ministry, to know Jesus. These things can be addressed as well in your plan. Your Christian Gift Planning Counselor can help. Contact Ray Pagels at raymondpagels1@gmail.com or his cell 847-226-2262
