Dear SRPC Family,

I just have to tell you the encouraging results of All-In 2010. These half-time or mid-point reminder weekends rarely yield any significant results. We think it’s good to encourage people to continue faithful giving but we (staff and officers) don’t usually expect much of a response. This year was different!

· 58 families increased their pledges

· 71 families went All-In for the first time

· 148 families recommitted themselves to their original pledge

· So many of you shared that the gospel gave you fresh liberty to give generously because you’re resting in the Father’s care for you!

Can I make one last request? If you’ve made a commitment to give – will you make it a point to start right away? After previous campaigns, we have been astonished at the number of families that make pledges (even up to $30,000) and never start giving. In fact, three years can go by and they don’t give anything not even once! Let me encourage you to follow through on your resolve and to not just pledge to go all-in but actively do it. I and many others at SRPC will assure you that this is a step of faith you won’t ever regret.

Praise the Lord with me for His work in our midst! Pastoring you guys is a treat!

Sincerely,

Ray Cortese
