Your August Pay It Forward Update

Hello Faith Family!

We are thrilled to share some incredible highlights from this summer, all made possible

by your continued support of our Pay It Forward initiative. This season has been full of

energy, impact, and ministry growth, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Summer Ministry Moments

Our Summer Splash event was a huge success! With over 750 kids and volunteers, our

church was buzzing with excitement, laughter, and the powerful presence of God. The

children experienced incredible games, crafts, and Bible lessons while our volunteers

poured their hearts into making each day memorable. The seeds planted during

Summer Splash will bear fruit for years to come.

The Chase held June Jam, a month-long competition for our junior high and high school

students that was filled with activities, games, food, fun, friends, and an encounter with

Jesus Christ! They had 60 new kids come during the month of June!

Beyond our local outreach, we saw God move powerfully on the mission field. We sent

teams to Nicaragua, Bali, Jamaica, and the LA Dream Center where they shared the

love of Christ and served their communities in need. From building homes and providing

food to ministering to children and families, our mission teams have made a lasting

impact.

The Power of Investing in Pay It Forward

The numerical savings we recoup by investing in Pay It Forward are significant! Every

dollar contributed today can save Peoples Church three dollars over the next 20 years

(and even more) by lowering our energy bills and reducing interest as we pay down our

debt. This means every gift multiplies, allowing us to invest even more into community

ministry.

If you haven’t participated in Pay It Forward, start today! Your generosity has a ripple

effect, allowing us to reach more people, provide more support, and share the Gospel

further than ever before.

Your support is more than a donation; it’s an investment in God's work here at Peoples

Church and beyond. Let's keep the momentum going, knowing that every dollar given

today becomes three dollars to invest in a life-changing ministry for years to come.

Your April Pay It Forward Update

Hello Faith Family!

We have incredible news to share! As of this month, our solar paneling project is

officially completed and fully operational. Peoples Church is entirely off the grid, and our

PG&E bill has been eliminated! This is an enormous step forward for our church, freeing

up resources to expand our ministries, serve our community more effectively, and

support missions in ways we’ve never been able to before.

Celebrating Ministry Impact

Your contributions have allowed us to invest in the next generation and empower them

to live out their faith in practical, meaningful ways. God is doing amazing things through

Peoples Church and we want to celebrate the moments that have shaped this season.

Over 500 kids and volunteers participated in Breakaway this spring, our spring break

missions trip. Kids from all over the valley participated in service projects, worshipped

together, and experienced a mighty move of the Holy Spirit.

Unexpected weather didn’t stop our Spring Fling! We moved our Easter Egg Hunt and

carnival indoors, and thousands of people came onto our campus to enjoy the fun and

games while experiencing the love of Jesus through our amazing volunteers!

The production over the Easter weekend was truly unforgettable. Thousands gathered

on our campus to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was a powerful time of

worship, connection, and the gospel message impacting the lives of so many people.

Between Palm Sunday and Easter, including all of the events during the week, we had

over 15,000 people on campus! Without our faith family's investment of time, talents,

abilities, and financial support, we could not accomplish these incredible feats!

Looking Forward to Future Ministry Opportunities

Thanks to your faithful giving, the savings from our solar project will allow us to continue

to make an even more significant impact. Imagine what we can do together for our

community in the future. Our ministries can feed more people, clothe those in need,

expand our benevolence efforts, support more missionaries locally and globally, and

reach more families with the Good News of Jesus Christ!

As we celebrate these milestones, let us remain steadfast in our mission. Giving to Pay

It Forward is more than just a financial contribution; it's an investment in the eternal

impact we can make as a church family. Thank you for partnering with us to see God

move in our midst and to be a part of His redemptive story in the valley and beyond.

Peoples Church

December Update

Hello Faith Family!

As we approach the end of the year, we are excited to announce that our Pay It Forward initiative is about to reach its first significant milestone. PG&E will sign off on our solar panels in just a few weeks. We stand on the brink of this incredible achievement, looking toward the future, and are excited about what these panels represent. While each panel generates sustainable electricity, our utility bill will decrease, thus freeing up money for more ministry at our church.

Every ministry at Peoples Church will flourish from this influx of money. We will be able to feed and clothe more people in need, provide benevolence for those facing difficult circumstances, missionaries both foreign and abroad, and reach out to new families to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

Your support in Pay It Forward is more than just a financial contribution; it is an investment in our ability to reach people all over the valley by allowing us to redirect monies that would have been spent on utilities and focus them on people in need. Each contribution, regardless of size, becomes an investment that reverberates through time, leaving a legacy of change and responsible stewardship for years to come.

As you consider your year-end giving, we encourage you to partner with us as we embrace stewardship, amplify ministry impact, and make changes in the valley that will resonate for decades. Your generosity can catalyze this remarkable progress, impacting our mission to help people see God and participate in His redemptive story.

Will you consider helping Pay It Forward finish strong in 2023 with your financial contribution?
