Rooted and Built: Commitment Sunday October 11

October 11 is Commitment Sunday. You will be invited to make a three-year pledge to Rooted and Built. You may fulfill your pledge in the way that works best for you—annually, monthly, weekly, and/or through an upfront gift. You may make your gifts through the Loop giving platform, or by using the blue giving envelope included in your quarterly envelope packs or available in the pew backs.

God Gives the Growth

Colossians 2:6-7 & 1 Corinthians 3:5-9

Rev. Barrett Owen

Paul declares to the church in Corinth, ”I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” Our capital campaign is doing the same. We are rooting and building so ours and future generations can water. But we know God is doing the growing. In other words, the work of discipleship belongs to us; the growth belongs to God.
