Hey Midcurrent,

We are now full steam ahead into 2026, but I wanted to provide an update on the two challenges we extended to you as we closed out 2025.

1. With 50 days left in the year, and in anticipation of our new three service schedule, our goal was to add 50 new volunteers to our ministry teams that help us create the place where real people and a real God meet.  We didn’t quite reach the 50 mark. But here is the good news that is still worth celebrating wildly. 39 of you raised your hand to join our team and to serve our church in a big way! It really is a joy for us to be serving in ministry alongside of you. So let me just say thank you to all of you who partner with us to point people to Jesus every single week. And it’s never too late join in on the action. You can see and sign up for any of our ministry teams by clicking HERE. 

2.  An incredibly generous donor agreed to match up to $35,000 in year end gifts. We issued the challenge to all of you to give generously, and you responded in encouraging ways by contributing $28,000 to the work that God is doing at Midcurrent. What is even more encouraging is that when all was said and done, this donor still gave the full $35,000 meaning a grand total of $63,000 was collected as 2025 came to a close. That’s $63,000 that will contribute directly to lives being changed through the work of God that continues to grow here in our church!

Both of these are such fun updates to share. And I also want to make that I let you know that when you give of your time and your resources, you are not simply helping to maintain an organization, you are helping to move our mission forward as we strive to reach more people for Jesus and teach people to live more like Him!

So let me say thank you to you, Midcurrent, for the way you responded to the challenge!

See you Sunday for week 3 of Kingdom Come!
