ABOVE & BEYOND GIVING INITIATIVE
Church Family,
As we begin the Above and Beyond Giving Initiative, I am filled with great anticipation and hope for what God is about to do in and through our church. Our guiding scripture for this initiative, Ephesians 3:20-21, reminds us of God's limitless power and glory: "Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us—to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Over the next three weeks, we will seek God's guidance and strength, intercede for our community, and pray for generosity and commitment within our congregation. This prayer, scripture, and fasting guide is designed to lead us through this journey. Each day, we will focus on specific prayers, scripture readings, and fasting practices to help us express our dependence on God and unify our hearts towards this common purpose.
I encourage you and your family to fully engage in this guide, setting aside dedicated time each day to pray, read scripture, and fast. Let us come together as a church family, united in our desire to see God do above and beyond all that we can ask or imagine.
Thank you for your faithfulness and commitment to this journey. I am excited to see how God will move in and through us as we step out in faith together.
I love being your pastor,
Pastor Ed
