STEWARDSHIP FOR 2017 – THANK YOU!

We would like to offer our sincere appreciation to all who made contributions to the church in 2017.  We are very blessed to have finished 2017 with a net income of $11,258.08, especially when we still had a net deficit of ($120,085.08) as of November 30, 2017.  For such a turn around, we give thanks to the Lord, to all who gave during the year, and to so many who went the extra mile. Thanks so much for your generosity and love for our church.

CHRISTIAN ENRICHMENT CENTER
Do we truly believe that we belong to each other? This is a fundamental question that we answer with our actions throughout the weeks of the seasons. We recognize that no one can come to Christ and remain unchanged, so we set about old things in gospel ways.
Believing that the Holy Spirit is infusing our plans for the 7th Annual Empty Bowls Dinner and Silent Auction, we invite you to join us for this ticketed event on Friday, March 16th from 4:30-7:30. As you mingle with friends and meet new people from across the Triad, you are offering resources to help ensure ALL families in Thomasville have food on their tables.
Tickets, which go on sale February 4th, are $20 each, with every penny benefiting Cooperative Community Ministry and Project Divine Interruption. Children 17 years and under may eat for free, but only ticketed guests will take home a hand-crafted pottery bowl. We look forward to being with you!!

Love wins. Always.
