| And
now, we‘re taking a bold step toward fulfilling our
calling. A journey designed to clarify our common vision across
the board to all who call Canyon Hills home, to involve every
person in a spiritual process of seeking God's calling on
their lives as part of that vision, and to enlist every single
part of this "body of Christ" into earnest prayer
and financial stewardship of that vision.
What will this journey mean for you?
PRAY.
Pray for our church. Pray for the leaders and volunteers of
our groups and ministries. Pray for God's calling for your
life. Pray for opportunities to become part of God's great
adventure. Pray like our future depends on it!
SERVE.
This new season, TerraNova, will open wide the opportunities
for you to roll up your sleeves and serve enthusiastically.
As we add groups and ministries and service times, we will
need every Christ-follower at Canyon Hills to get in the game!
SACRIFICE.
Our goal is to raise $800,000 to fund this mission generously,
above and beyond our normal operating budget. About $550,000
will be directed toward the intermediate step (build out expenses
and furnishings, increased staff costs, and increased monthly
expenses related to rent). The remaining $250,000 will be
directed toward the future, and will allow us to be prepared
to seize the next moment when it arrives!
And this will mean sacrifice for each one of us. The word
means: To give up something you love for the sake of something
you love even more. It may be your morning cup of Starbucks,
the purchase of a new car, or a home-improvement project you
had planned. We will all have an opportunity to sacrifice
things we want and desire in order to join in this adventure
with God.
