Imagine YOUR ROLE.

This project is too large for any one of us--even for all of us put together. Only with God can we turn our prayers and faith into action. With God we can take the plan we have imagined and make it a reality.

Whether financial or non-financial, the part you play in this exciting time of growth for Southminster is limited only by your own imagination. You, the congregation, are the breath of God that breathes life into buildings. Pray and reflect upon what God can do through you. Amazing things can happen if every Southminster member seeks God’s will by praying, “Lord, what would You do through me?”

"A building is only a place. -- It is up to all of us to imagine what God can do!"

Take time to listen to God. Commitment decisions grow joyfully out of a prayerful, spiritual perspective.  Pray that God will give you a clear vision to enable you to see His way. Instead of simply making a donation decision, allow your commitment to be a real matter of faith that represents your sense of God’s calling and direction in your life.

Each person is asked to prayerfully consider a commitment to sacrifice in giving. That commitment is individual and confidential. Make a giving decision that honors God and that is right for you. Faithfully and joyfully join your gift with the gifts of our congregation.

You will be learning more about the campaign between now and Commitment Sunday on March 5. On that day, we will collect pledges for a three-year period. These pledges are separate from your regular contributions to Southminster. Throughout this campaign, we’ll be addressing practical and creative ways to approach making a pledge. For instance, you may want to take advantage of our informational Advance Commitment Luncheon on February 19.

You can also do many things beyond a financial contribution:

• Pray Constantly. Seeking God’s will is the foundation for imagining what we can build together.

• Get Involved. Find out what is happening and what God is doing at Southminster. Learn everything you can about our ministries, our vision and our project. Ask questions. Be informed. Tell others. Learn more about the capital campaign as we build not just a structure, but a foundation of faith in Southminster’s future.

• Share Your Faith. Take this opportunity for worship and for study to deepen your faith. As you consider what can be done with the new building, share what you imagine with the congregation of friends surrounding you.
