As the school year begins and our Fall schedule takes effect, please take this time to renew your commitment to making church involvement a priority for you and your family. There are many ways to get plugged in and involved. We have often talked about three ways you can participate in the mission at West Jackson.
1) PRAY. Pray for the ministry, leadership, lost, and each other. Pray for God’s hand to move in His people, for the lost to be saved and discipled, and for the faithful to be equipped to reach this community and beyond with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
2) GIVE. Stay faithful in your tithes and offerings. Stay faithful to give to the daily work that
we are seeking to engage in at West Jackson. Give to the Building Fund. We have a Love Offering Sunday coming in November. You will be able to give on that day, as well as make a 6- or 9-month pledge to give. You can also give right now. Our Stewardship Com-mittee has put our Building Fund into a money market account, drawing interest that we can put back into the Building Fund. (For more information about how you can give to the Building Fund, check out the display in the foyer.)
3) GO. Get involved. Make Sunday morning worship and Sunday school a weekly priority.
Get involved in Equip U on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Serve in some capacity. Go on mission trips to Mexico, serve in the community, and look for ways to reach your neighbors. Be active by being engaged, serving, and expecting God to move.
We have many opportunities for you. Please plug in. Please be consistent to GIVE. PRAY. GO. Let’s FOLLOW JESUS as we grow in HUNGER for God, LOVE for each other, and PASSION for the world. Bro. Keith
