Hey Family and Friends,

I love how generous you are. We are at a unique time in our culture, and people need the church. Jesus set up His CHURCH to be the main force through which He would offer hope and help to the world. As each of us gives generously to His church, we become part of something that brings peace and changes lives for the better.

As we look around, we can see that the needs are great in our world today. God has placed His church here to express and release His deep compassion to the hurting in our world. We see the effects of the COVID logjam we’ve endured the past nine months, and it’s overwhelming. It’s so inspiring, though, to look back at history and see that the church has actively engaged to help meet the needs of those who are hurting.

Friends, we’re seeing suicide rates climb in Nevada County and in every part of our country. We’re hearing of stories of families who are going without food. We’re seeing more and more homelessness, domestic violence, marital discord, divorce, and family breakups are going on – even though we may not see it underneath the cover of COVID.

God has placed Twin Cities as His church in this place for just this moment. We’re here to shine His healing light. We’re here to spread His fragrant seasoning. We’re here to unleash His empathetic compassion. We’re here to be His voice of comforting peace. We’re here to LOVE EVERYONE ALWAYS and to be a place WHERE HOPE IS FOUND.

I’m asking you to join me in praying about how we can help even more people experience God’s love in the coming year through your generous giving to our Year-End Gift. In 2020, we’ve been able to pivot

and offer quality online church services by adding new equipment, software, and staff. Folks, our online presence has been a lifeline for so many. Here’s a comment from last Sunday from a person who made

it to an onsite service for the first time since March. She said, “Even though I have not physically been here, I watch every Sunday, and if I hadn’t been able to do this, I would not have the hope and strength I have now. Thank you so very much!”

We’ve been able to help those who have needs for shelter, food, and support. We’ve been able to engage in even greater ways with our ministry partners who work to alleviate the suffering and struggle of so many hurting people. We’ve been able to grow our weekly number of people who are engaging with us online. We’ve engaged with our community by serving in unique ways, and God keeps opening up opportunities for more all the time.

All of this has been made possible by your consistent, faithful, and generous giving which is one of the key values of our church.

Each year we ask everyone who calls Twin Cities their home to go before God with a humble and sincere heart and ask Him to guide us as to how we can give generously to support our mission to engage together to lead as many people as possible into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Will you pray and ask God what He would have you give and then respond accordingly to His leading?

I look forward to watching to see how God is going to continue to use our church to bring His Kingdom into he far reaches of our world and to those who feel they are furthest from Him.

Joyfully living everyday life on mission with Jesus and others!
