Commitment Week - Part 3

Today I want to just give you an update on some of the commitments that have already been made during our 40 Days of Love Spiritual Initiative.

1. Commitment to Christ - this year we have already seen 100 salivations at PCC. That's a great sign of an outward focused church that makes reaching people far from God a priority.

2. Commitment to Growing Spiritually - presently we have 33% of our church in community groups where we study God's Word, pray together and care for one another. I know there is a lot of room for improvement in our discipleship ministries but we are headed in the right direction.

3. Commitment to Give Blood - we had such a great turnout for our blood drive last weekend that we had to turn away over 150 people. Thanks to all of you who volunteered to give blood and your time to make this such a great success.

4. Commitment to It's About Time Building Fund - already, PCC has committed 1.5 million dollars in over and above giving to our building fund of which over $400,000 has already been given. This weekend we will invite all the new people at PCC to join this journey of faith and giving as well as giving those already part of PCC to reaffirm or increase their previous commitments.
5. Commitment to Pray - last night we met together at The Gathering, our monthly night of prayer and worship. What a great time we had together in God's presence and crying out to him. A church that prays and waits on God is a church where God can do amazing works.
