"I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of he least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." - Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
On January 17 the Stewardship Committee will introduce to the congregation a new concept in keeping track of our commitment to the many ministries that we support locally, nationally and throughout the world. The WCDANS have made a wonderful banner that will be displayed in the Sanctuary. This will serve as a visual reminder to the congregation of how faithful and committed we are to our many ministries.
The banner has a tree without foliage. Every time 2% of the funds for covering our portion of the cost to support these ministries is achieved, a leaf will be added. It will also serve as a testament to anyone who enters our Sanctuary that we are "...a church without walls, creating a visible sign of Christ's presence in our urban community and beyond."
Our prayer is that this tree will be full of leaves before Advent 2010.
