FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND… Stop by Connection Pointe in the lobby & we’ll help you find your way around Campus.

FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN Our nursery & children’s programs offer a warm, caring, & fun atmosphere for kids. Your child will be well supervised & much happier with our well-trained caregivers than in the adult worship service. We’d love to help you find the appropriate class for your kids. Just ask a greeter or visit Connection Pointe for help.

CONNECTING… Your Connection Card is the easiest way to let us know who you are & how we can support you.

• Use this card for prayer requests and to sign up for studies, classes, & groups.

• Circle the letter on the card that matches the letter in the write-up (they look like this: X).

• Drop your Connection Card in the offering basket at the end of service or put it in the boxes on the wall near the main exits and at the Giving Kiosk.

YOUR NEXT STEPS… If you’ve made a commitment today or you’re not sure what that means, stop by the Lounge after service. We’d love to talk & pray with you and help you get connected.

• Pick up a Fresh Start With God packet from one of the booths or text TODAY to 58124.

• If you’re ready to be baptized, or want to learn more about it, come see us at the Baptism booth.

desires to enter in to our lives today.

2015 TrendReceived 88% of annual budget& are 92% of the way through the year

Monthly BudgetReceived 96% of November budget

5-Year TrendOur 5-year average indicates we are typically at 93% of annual budget received at this point in the year (currently at 88%)

We are behind our budget as of the end of November. A strong first half kept us on track through June, however weekly shortfalls have impacted our trends. Our weekly budget is $70,135 and current average giving each week is $65,052, which leaves us with a current deficit of $140,885. Together, we can reverse this trend today!
