~ Paul Solomon
With this teaching in mind, we’re excited to announce our Annual Fundraising Drive for the Fellowship of the Inner Light, and we need your help!
Our goal is to raise $10,000, and thanks to the generosity of two anonymous donors, we have a matching donation of $2,000—meaning your gift can go twice as far. With your support, we can reach $4,000 right away, and every dollar counts.
Where Your Donation Goes:
Your contributions directly support the vibrant life of our church, including:
- Sunday Joy in Worship: We compensate our speakers and musicians who help make our services live up to the name “Joy In Worship”. The speakers’ talks are shared each week on YouTube, thanks to Sarah Anderson, who edits and posts them.
- After-Service Fellowship: Susan Thomas organizes our coffee time right after Sunday Service, providing a space for connection after worship.
- Sunday School: Sharon Solomon and Karin Jenness dedicate their time to teaching and nurturing our member’s children’s spiritual growth.
- Office Management: Susan Thomas also serves as our office manager, creating our weekly newsletter, special announcements, and Sunday Service bulletins. She ensures our church runs smoothly and meets the needs of our members.
- Website & Social Media: Erica Roberts volunteers her time to update our website, and Don Piron keeps our Facebook page vibrant and up-to-date.
- Community Outreach: Four times a year, we prepare meals for around 100 homeless individuals through the Judeo-Christian Outreach Center.
- For a more in-depth description of the services provided by our Fellowship to it’s membership, please refer to the page below in the newsletter.
Giving Beyond Our Walls:The Fellowship of the Inner Light teaches and believes strongly in the principle of tithing taught by the Masters. We seek to walk our talk by tithing to the local and international community 10% of all funds raised. This means your donations support local and global organizations doing incredible work, including food banks, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, veteran support ministries, rescue squads, and disaster relief. Our international aid efforts include World Central Kitchen, Outreach Africa, Haiti and several other groups.
Why This Fundraiser is so Important:
During the past 50+ years, our Fellowship has consistently been provided with the funds to pay its bills and to maintain financial stability. We believe that this is due to God’s Grace and Love for each of us. It is God’s presence within each of us that inspires us to contribute to our Church’s financial needs.
We have found that over the years that our Spring Fundraiser, timed to coincide with our annual Family Gathering, plays a vital role in stabilizing our budget, thus providing us with the green energy needed to allow our Church to continue with it’s important work. So please listen to your voice within and contribute what you can to our Fellowship Center, the House of God.
Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our special community.
