Partake in Commitment Sunday!

Friends,

This coming Sunday will be one of the most important Sunday services for our church ever! It will mark the time when you, those who call North Church home, make your financial commitments to the future work of your church.

North Church is your church. We are a local church made up of redeemed saints from all walks of life called together to enjoy the Lord, grow in the Lord, and to be used by the Lord for his glory and our joy. It is not run by someone outside of the body or whose survival and flourishing is dependent on a centrally run agency -- it is yours. Jesus is the head of it and we are his body.

Our primary goal continues to be that all who call our church home would practice faith in Jesus by being invested in this endeavor. This Sunday is the time for you to engage with the mission of our church by submitting the Commitment Card you received in the First Light Packet a few weeks ago to express your financial intent over the next two years. (They will also be available at service and online if you do not have one.)

Please, focus your personal devotional time over the coming days to seek the Lord as to what he would have you give over the next two years. If you have any questions about filling them out see this VIDEO or e-mail Pastor Jay Kennedy at jkennedy@northchurchabq.com.

Your family’s pledge will help us assess our budget going forward so we can determine whether we will be able to purchase the building on Silver. Your gifts will drive our ability to efficiently remodel it so we can meet there, and more aggressively pursue ministry through outreach and church planting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the ends of the earth. If you’ve already given your Commitment Card, thank you. If you haven’t yet done so, you can do this in a few different ways:

• In-Person – At service on 11/22 at any of our three morning services: 8:30, 10, or 11:30
• In-Person – After service on 11/22 between 1 pm and 2 pm
• Online – By visiting (northchurchabq.com/firstlight) and filling out the online Commitment Card.

As is always the case, Sunday’s service will be available to stream online here at 8:30am, or you can view the service on our YouTube Channel.

This is a great opportunity for us to not just grow corporately but to grow individually in faith and trust in the provision of God for each of us and to practice new levels of generosity. Your generosity in this endeavor is directly linked to our financial ability as a church to fund mission work, benevolence, and further our hopes of planting new churches.

Friends, what a joyous and momentous occasion we have before us!

I look forward to celebrating the work of God amongst us with you this Sunday and in the coming weeks as we behold what the Lord has done in and through us.

In Christ,
Pastor Ryan
