Easter, 2009
DOWNLOAD OUR 2008 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Members and Friends of the Royal Poinciana Chapel,
Once again at Easter we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. It also marks the arrival of spring with God's beauty so evident. But this Easter we also have the reality of lost jobs and difficult economic times for so many people. Still we have what really matters, our lives, our family and our church.
I am writing to ask for your support of the Chapel as part of our annual Easter offering. This traditional offering is a major way the congregation supports the Chapel and its work and worship among us and in the community.
The Chapel is being extremely careful with every dollar. Expenses have been reduced by 25% from last year in recognition of the tough economic times and the need to conserve cash.
Worship, music, youth programs, bible study and so much more are the life of the Royal Poinciana Chapel and your support is critical. We have no pledges and no annual campaign so the four special offerings like Easter are critical for our financial support.
Please give what you can but know that whatever you give the most important gift is yourself. Participate in the life of the Chapel and share the spiritual journey with us. What better way to weather the economic storm and to keep our bearings than by being together.
Thanks for being a part of the Chapel family,
Mitchell Watson
Chairperson
Stewardship Ministry Team
