The theme for our Stewardship campaign was "I have called you friends." Throughout the Sundays of November we heard personal testimonies challenging us to think about our stewardship and giving to National City Christian Church. I want to thank Charlie Richardson, Shana Pereira, John Scott Williams and Bill and Keturah Raabe for their courage and witness to talk to us as friends.
Just as Jesus calls us friends, you responded to Jesus' call to be friends to each other and to the world. Your estimate of giving for 2009 is truly a "God-happening." Thus far we have received 80 pledges totaling $361,552. When combined with anticipated giving from others our grand total is $439,531. The gift range is from $15 - $20,400, making all of your gifts meaningful to God's work here on Thomas Circle and beyond.
For the privilege of serving as your associate minister I give thanks! Four your gifts and commitments for 2009 I say thanks! Our journey into a new year begins! Thanks be to God.
