Dear Fellow Sunrisers:
We have a plan that will meet the needs of our church and its growing ministries…a plan that will require the participation of every member…a plan that depends upon each of us seeking and responding to God’s will in our lives as it relates to our participation. Our plan: Growing in Faith Together. It is a ministry that affords all of us the opportunity to serve the Lord and to respond to His blessings.
Our unique theme is Not Equal Gifts but Equal Sacrifice. Simply applied, God seldom asks any two of us to give the same amount financially, but he asks all of us to demonstrate a uniform level of commitment. The dollars given may vary, but the sacrifices driving each of us should not.
The Growing in Faith Together campaign is a journey that is too large for any of us. It is too large for all of us put together. No campaign, however, is too large for God. Our challenge is that each of us, through prayer, will understand God’s will for our lives. Once we have this understanding, our challenge will be to do God’s will with faith and dedication that is pleasing in His sight.
We are honored by the way God has blessed Sunrise United Methodist Church. What anticipation we can feel knowing that He plans to do even greater work in the years to come.
Sincerely,
John Calhoun
