Here are a few quick hits of what is going on at Pine Ridge Church this week!

1. The Essential James | continues this Sunday
Last Sunday, we talked about the need for us to take the next step as Followers of Christ. Many Christians had a point in their lives when they gave their hearts to Christ, but that isn’t where it stops. A lot of people attend churches and have deceived themselves into thinking that hearing the word of God preached every week is enough to get them by. There are also a lot of people that have gathered a lot of Biblical knowledge, but the true question is: What are they actually doing with it? James says, “don’t just be hearers of the word, but be doer’s”. If you missed the message, watch online here.

2. Summer Giving Update
This year our giving has been good, but it hasn’t been as strong as it needs to be and we have recently fallen behind on our budget. Some of this is to be expected in the summer, when lots of people travel and are on vacation, but I’m praying that we’ll continue to be a church that gives generously and meet the needs of God’s church. Let’s see if we can make up this $8,500 shortfall together and move into the fall months with great momentum. If you’d like to give online, or manage recurring contributions, here’s the link to our secure giving page. Thanks so much to those who give faithfully and generously! .

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies? I can’t wait for summer time to be here! I love all the seasons, but summer is the best because things slow down a little bit and we are able to enjoy relationships. Whether it’s summer vacations, family BBQ’s or pool parties, summer often times means a lot of fun. I know my family is going to enjoy this summer. We have a couple of things planned: We are heading to the beach for a few days, and then touring Washington D.C. with my parents and my brother’s family. It should be a lot of fun!

I know you probably have something great planned to enjoy some time away with family and friends as well. It’s nice for things to be a little relaxed and laid back – we all need it from time to time. At the same time, I want you to know that even when things are a little slower than usual God has called each of us to reach people all through out the year.

I wanted to send you an e-mail to let you know about an opportunity that can help you and your spiritual growth during the summer months. It’s called Automated Giving. Before the summer hits we are challenging our church family to make some decisions to remain faithful in giving during the summer. We have found that people who giving online with a scheduled gift tend to be more consistent in their giving. Though everything slows down a little in the summer we are praying our giving will speed up! We want to be prepared financially for the fall where we will reach a lot of people for Jesus Christ!

Would you be willing to take the next step and sign-up for reccurring giving HERE?
You can also download a hardcopy of our automated giving form there as well.
We also have Online Giving available HERE.

I believe there are three benefits of using Automated Giving:
1. Faithful giving grows your heart to become more like Jesus.
2. You can forget the check book on the weekend’s
3. We can maintain ministries for your family during all seasons of the year.

This past Sunday, I spoke on the topic of God and money. If you would like to listen to the message, simply go HERE.

We look forward to seeing you take the plunge and schedule your giving this summer!
