UPCOMING EVENTS IN OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
"NOW IS THE TIME!" "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: ...a time to build." (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 3b NIV) "NOW IS THE TIME!" is the name for Pella's Capital Campaign that is being conducted through November, 2008. The purpose of this Campaign is to raise $1.2 million or more over a three year period for our proposed new building program. NOW IS THE TIME! because the need is great. Our buildings are sixty years old and are definitely showing their age. NOW IS THE TIME! because the opportunity for ministry is great. With a "gathering/commons" area, new fellowship hall and kitchen, offices, and classrooms, etc., Pella will be able to continue to effectively minister to the needs of our members, friends, and community. NOW IS THE TIME! because Pella's financial condition and congregational climate is good. It is now at this time, more than many other times during the past one hundred years, that our congregation is able to consider doing a building program that will shape the ministry of Pella for many years to come! NOW IS THE TIME! for us to step forward in faith and commitment just as Pella's founders did one hundred years ago and just as Pella's members did sixty years ago when constructing our present facility. If not us...who? If not now...when? NOW is the time...to build!

Pastors George and Carol Karres will
be leading a ten day tour to ISRAEL – THE HOLY LAND
on February 11-20, 2009. To see the land of Jesus and walk in his
footsteps – and also see many other Biblical sites as well as to
experience the land as it is today – is truly the trip of a
lifetime! Besides seeing the sites, we also plan to have devotional
experiences at various places that will make our visit truly
memorable.
