September Is Just Around The Corner

If you are part of CATF, you rock! Thank you for all you do to make this place happen week in and week out. We are entering one of the key growth times for churches - September and October are key momentum times. Let me give you some ways you can continue to partner with what God is doing here:

• PRAY! This is where it starts. The devil would love nothing more than to derail what is happening around here. Please pray for the staff and leaders, the volunteers, for continued unity, the unchurched in this community, for people to come to faith in Christ and be baptized and all that God is doing.
• SERVE! If you aren’t plugged into what God is doing here at CATF you are missing out on being a part of what God is doing in the Niagara Region. Don’t sit on the sidelines, get in the game. I can promise you it will be one of the most fulfilling things you have done in your life. Serve in an area you LOVE, not out of obligation but because you love doing it.
• DO LIFE with someone from CATF. Hang out with people at a coffee shop, in your home or join a LifeGroup in the fall.
• GIVE! BIG vision takes BIG money. God has chosen to fund His work through His people. I am sold out to personally giving to this church -- so my money is where my mouth is. You can’t out give God. Thank you for your faithfulness in this area. Because of your giving, we are able to do what we do. People's lives are changed for all eternity because of your generosity. Our weekly investment in the lives of people is about $2500. Currently our weekly giving covers only about half of that. Needless to say we are waiting on God to bring in the additional funds and He will do that through you -- that's the awesome part of it.
• INVITE! Get your friends to church. You are the church’s best marketing. Billboards are great - but you will out perform billboards any day. Invest in people and they will come to church with you. Don't spend all your time with Christians -- invest in friends that need to come to faith in Christ. What a way to live and give!
• HANG ON! God is going to do some great things this fall and you get to be part of it.
