A Chance To Respond

Much of our lives are lived responding to things. On November 23rd we as a congregation will have an opportunity to make a very important response, response to the generosity of God in our lives. On that day we will make our commitments of financial support for the work of this congregation for the year 2009.

If you have not done so already, I hope you will take a moment to look at the video which has been created to give you some sense of the broad range of ministries of this very dynamic congregation. That video is available on the website at fumcaustin.org. Also available there is a copy of our Mission and Ministry Plan for 2009. Take some time at look at the extensive plans that have been made for next year. You can also see the budget that has been adopted to underwrite these plans.

This congregation through its wide range of ministries makes a difference in the lives of countless people. Your generosity will continue to make those ministries possible.

Soon you will receive a letter containing your commitment card for next year. I hope you will consider the information on our website and then prayerfully make your commitment for 2009. God has touched all of our lives. This is an opportunity to respond to God in the lives of others.
