As God’s people, we are called to plant the seed of God’s Word increasingly in the hearts of St. Paul’s members and residents of our community. As God’s disciples, we are to raise up a new generation of “oaks of righteousness.” The approved capital expansion program is an excellent opportunity for all of us as a congregation to carry out our God-given mission.

For those in the congregation who already made a commitment to Plant a Seed, 2008, you will be encouraged to re-examine your promise and make any adjustments during this time to reflect the love Jesus has demonstrated to you. We are also encouraging those who have not yet made a promise to consider the grace you have received from Jesus and how this capital expansion plan will extend God’s Grace to many more people.

The goals of the “Plant a Seed, Reap a Harvest” campaign include:

• Celebrating what God has done with St. Paul’s so far and how he continues to bless us as a result of our facilities and outreach programs
• Planting “seeds” in the lives of children in the SOEL and Pre-K programs
• Extending God’s Grace to the community through the ministries of St. Paul’s.
• Inviting all members to make 1-year commitments this year, with the opportunity for multi-year commitments at the dedication next year.

Galatians 6:9: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
