Dear Church Family:

I want to update everyone on our progress with the Easter Sunday Crusade, Hope Arising which is scheduled for April 12, 2009 at the new Cleveland Indians Baseball Stadium. We have been blessed to receive four hundred and three volunteer cards with well over five hundred volunteers listed up to this point. This is awesome! We have our weekly prayer strategy being given out each week and I ask everyone to continue to uplift our service in prayer and to continue inviting your friends to join us on this special day. Here are some key dates to remember.

Thursday March 5th Leaders Training Meeting 7:00 – 8:00 PM Sanctuary
All volunteers will be contacted by your leaders after this meeting.
Wednesday April 1st All volunteers training session 8:00 – 8:30; worship and ministry will start at 7:00 PM with everyone asked to attend this special prayer service.

Our first financial goal is $13,000.00. This will cover renting the stadium, the sound system, and the stage. I am asking everyone to give a sacrificial gift for this to be raised this week. So far we have raised about $3,000.00 towards the event. I will be writing to you each week as the date approaches to keep everyone informed of our progress and needs.

Thank you,
Pastor Greg
