IT’S GO TIME!
Those of you who have been around Glen Ellyn Evangelical Covenant Church for a while probably know that while the ministries of the church are rolling throughout the year, we actually give about 40% of our annual donations in the last three months of the year!
We need $400 thousand during the 4th Quarter to meet our operating expenses for the year.
If you believe that the Spirit has been moving powerfully in our church and you know that you have been blessed, please give. The Lord is generous. He calls us to be faithful. It’s go time!
