Summer is a great time in the life of our church. I don’t know if you are aware, but summer is usually the most fruitful time for our ministries as outreach opportunities are heightened. And with outreach events comes life-change. We have been blessed over the years to witness so many changed lives from our summer events. And now that we are in full swing after a year of the pandemic, people are hungry for some normalcy. We know this summer will be like no other.

Summer, though, also means vacation and jam-packed schedules. It can be easy to forget that our ministries don’t take a summer break. So, we are announcing our Summertime Giving emphasis this weekend.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, we have a very specific need for our weekly budget at each campus, and a total goal of $12 million. It isn’t just a dollar amount; it is truly a need to continue maintaining the ministries during these critical months. By committing to participate faithfully these next few months, you will be blessed knowing that your giving has impacted:

• More than 100 camps
• Adventure Week
• Camp Renegade
• Beach Camp
• Student Worship Choir mission trip
• Preteen & Family mission trip
• Women’s Ministry mission trip
• Mission trips to East A frica, Mexico, Cuba, Greece, Denver and Florida
• The work of missionaries throughout the world
• Prestonwood Cares School Paks
• A myriad of activities offered through various ministries of Prestonwood

I pray that you will be steadfast in your giving, and I pray that many would come to know Christ because of the heart and the generosity of our people.

Remember, church family, we exist for those who are not yet here … for people who are outside the walls of this church. We have seen God do incredible things through our church during this unprecedented year, and we are moving forward in faith.

The fields are white unto harvest!
