LIFE Change Update

"Life Change" is a program started by Town North Church.  Each communicant member commits to putting $.25 per day into their "Life Change" bank for world missions.

The second Sunday of each month the money is brought to church and deposited in the containers at the front of the sanctuary as a special offering of sacrifice.  Together we can do a great work for our Lord's mission.  The key is that everyone must get involved.  While the quarters are being put into the bank stop and have a prayer time for our missionaries and our Lord's mission.  Use the time to remind your family of our Lord's mission for His church.  A church of 300 members would raise $27,375.00 a year if all members were in the program.

What has Town North Church done over the years through the "Life Change" program?

Well done, good and faithful servants!

We are called to be stewards of all we have been given.  God has given us a tremendous opportunity to be part of His mission.  If Jesus were in control of our budgets would He be able to work "Life Change" into it?

Jesus gave His life so those the Father gave Him would have their lives changed.  What will we give to change lives for our Lord's mission? Please consider the "Life Change" program.  Pick up a bank at the missions area in the narthex and begin today.

If you are wondering about whether you should make the sacrifice and get involved in this effort, please listen to Pastor Roger's sermon dated 2/20/11.
