With all of this amazing growth comes the challenge of growing pains. Our family meals have outgrown the capacity of the Fellowship Hall. The Welcome Area gets crowded quickly on Sunday mornings which makes it challenging to provide a place for people to connect with each other and welcome our guests. Adult Bible studies, children’s and youth ministries are pushing the limits of the facility.
We believe that God is leading us to make space for more people to discover life in Christ at the Fountain by expanding our facilities. In order to see this vision become reality, we knew that it would require us to unite together in prayer and through sacrificial giving over and above our regular tithes and offerings. In February, we will be launching a capital campaign called Extending The Table.
During the month of February, we will have sermon series, churchwide Bible studies, and opportunities to seek God’s blessing and leading in prayer. Make plans to be here on February 8. Between services that morning, we will hold a Vision Gathering where you can learn more about the building expansion and the Extending The Table campaign. We will discuss the importance of church-wide prayer during this crucial time, and we will share information about our church and its ministry. No financial commitments will be asked for or received at these meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to share information with you, to answer any questions you might have, and to encourage you to make this a special matter in your daily personal prayers.
God has given us a big vision, but we know that God is able to provide all that we need. We can see this vision accomplished when we work together and we all do our part! Every household at The Fountain will be asked to prayerfully consider how God is leading them to make a sacrificial commitment to help accomplish what God is calling us to do. Let’s commit together to seek God’s will in our lives and at Fountain of Life!
These are exciting days in the life of our church family. It is a joy to be on this journey with you.
Your fellow servant in Christ,
Pastor Elliott Lutz
