The $700,000 lead gift goal is well within sight. We are currently at $617,000. We have been given a matching gift challenge of $50,000 by April 22 for a total of $100,000. Will you prayerfully con- sider giving to the total challenge? We will be collecting lead gifts through April and anticipate reaching—and even exceeding—our goal. God is working in the lives of our very generous congrega- tion.

Not Equal Gifts…But Equal Sacri ce

Noteworthy Dates:

April—Designs are solid and estimates are in. Committees are studying the information
Today—Update on Project: Renewal, campaign pledge cards made Available

April 29—Completed pledge cards returned
May 1—Three-year campaign o cially begins

Committees, board members, and sta continue to pray through and discern costs, timing, ministry disruption, and steps of faith as they hammer out signi cant details.

May our small steps of faith—that seem huge in the life our Rush community—be in response to the privilege He has given us to extend his Grace to those around each of us!
