In June, the Midway Family gathered at a Congregational Meeting to communally discern if the Holy Spirit was leading us to build a parsonage. After listening to the various ways the Spirit had spoken to the Leadership Team and answering questions, the vote was unanimous to undertake this project! Adapting the words of Acts 15:28, “it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and us…” to build a parsonage! Praise God!
In August the Leadership Team invited the Midway Family to consider how each of us might participate financially in this project. Each received a form entitled “Gift Intent Form for Parsonage Project.” Each was invited to complete the form and return it by either placing it in the offerings box on Sunday or mailing it to the Church.
Thank you to those who have already done so! If you haven’t, would you do so soon?
And thank you to those who have already begun fulfilling your intent! Giving to the Parsonage Fund totals $16,150.
And what is the goal? The goal for the total project is $400,000. Some funds will come from a percentage of our unrestricted funds; some funds will come from Event Rental Income; just how much we need to borrow will depend on us, the Midway Family and how the Spirit works amongst us.
What if that amount was $0.00?!
