Dear Fellow Believer,
Because I know you have a love for Poplar Springs, I want to share with you what’s happening in the Church and ask you to be a part of it. This is a time of excitement, thankfulness, and hard work here. God is blessing beyond measure. He is empowering worship, glorifying Himself, and stirring people to draw near to Him through Jesus. Doxology!
Last week, on a drizzly Sunday, the church again hit a new participation record in our Life Groups. Week by week, God continues to bless us with new members and so many others who are coming here in need of a Savior. But God’s Hand of blessing is also a hand that urges us onward to be bold stewards of what He’s entrusted to us.
Even though we have cannibalized every inch of our building's space to convert into Life Groups, we are now flat out of room and in need of a way forward to continue receiving and equipping the souls God is leading here.
For this reason, the Church created the new Horizon Fund to begin laying a strong financial foundation for the plans that lay ahead for God's work here. When that nearing horizon gets here, we want to show Him we're ready.
If that’s something you find worthwhile, and if you’re able to, would you please consider making a one-time or continuing gift to the Horizon Fund? I promise you we will use it in a way that honors your sacrifice.
You can give online at poplarsprings.life/give. Just select "Horizon Fund." If giving by check, note “Horizon Fund.”
If you are not able to give, that’s okay. I mean it! We love you, and we need you to pray for us. We don’t want to make a single move without God’s say so.
Thank you for loving the Lord and leaning into His mission at Poplar Springs.
Together in this work,
Matthew Vandegriff
Pastor
