CFW Partners

 

 

Less than One month until Christmas.  Our team is praying for you as you share and show  the love and life of Christ.  What an incredible thought to think that God is With Us.  That he came to us because we were unable to come to him   That he is amongst us.  May our church be famous for being amongst those who are untouchable, unlovable, and unlikely.  

Here is glimpse at what is happening at CFW...

 

• Love
• We are taking a break from our missional-living series imitating Christ. We will continue the series Journey Ephesians in February. In January we will take a look at what stewardship is in the life of a believer. As always, I would love to hear your feedback on what we do well, what we can improve on, and what tangible steps we might take to get to that point.  
• This was another record month for us (attendance-wise).  New guests coming in every Sunday. Pray for us this upcoming Sunday.  We will maximize this big day by beginning a new four week series on Why a Traditional Christmas. It's Christmas sweater Sunday ugly or not. So wear something festive as we have some fun this Christmas season.  
• Grow 
• Our Big Give to close out 2013 (all five weeks of the month) We would love to see our giving exceed the last few months levels. There are necessary bills that need to paid as we end out 2013, and we need all who call CFW home to do there part. (Thanks for supporting John Shane last Sunday.)  Keeping this facility awesome is one way to show our guests who we are and what we are about.  I also believe, that even during this financial struggle that we find ourselves in, that we will be reminded that what we have is not ours.  To not hold tightly to what we have even when we believe that we need it.
• January will be the start of our Winter/Spring Trimester.  I will share more details as part of my January update. Please be in prayer with us as we begin preparations for going to two services this winter. Two services would allow better flexibility for everyone as we go to traditional first service and a contemporary second service. More details to come soon. But please be in prayer with us as we believe God to help us reach our community for Christ.    
• Serve 
• This month we are again making preparations to help a family with presents this Christmas. If you would like to help please send me an email. We will have more details soon on family size, kids, etc.. I'm excited for your heart to serve God in reaching our community that is in need. I'm looking forward to how we can make a impact this Christmas season.   

You can continue to pray with us and support us in several ways.  This financial challenge continues to shape us and sharpen us.  We need grace and wisdom to navigate the storm with integrity and understanding.  Thank you again for believing in us and trusting us.  We are truly grateful.  Merry Christmas!
