LOOK AT WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!
Dear Anthem Family,
It’s hard to believe that two years have gone by since we announced to our church family that we sensed God was leading us to SEND BEYOND by launching another location in Merrillville, Indiana, and BUILD BEYOND right here in Hammond, Indiana. And, looking back at all God has done in just two short years, all we can say is WOW! We have watched our Merrillville location come to life and settle into a new permanent home in the heart of the city. We have also moved our Hammond location into a building twice the size of our original home. God has truly taken us BEYOND!
Because of your continued sacrificial giving & generosity, $2,323,190.96 has now come in toward the Beyond Initiative! Through your generosity, we have been able to purchase two buildings, completely renovate one property, and begin the work on another. And over these past two years, we have literally watched our church family grow by 1,000 people!
Thank you seems like such a small thing to say, but we cannot say it enough. Thank you to everyone who has given financially toward Beyond. Thank you to everyone who has faithfully prayed. Thank you to every person who has served and given sacrificially of your time, talents, and resources.
Anthem Family, look what God has done through our YES!
LET'S FINISH BEYOND!
Over the past two months, we have invited 2,000 people each month to say, “I’M IN” by committing to give $50 toward Beyond. And Anthem Family, 2,290 people have participated in Finish Beyond! What an incredible response!
Now, here we are, entering the final month of our Beyond Initiative, and this Sunday, during our special Homecoming celebrations, we will receive our FINAL BEYOND OFFERING! We want to ask you if you will pray about something with us? There is something so special & powerful that happens when God’s people come together in unity. As we prepare for this final offering, we are asking EVERYONE in the Anthem Family to participate. Will you ask The Lord what you are supposed to do, listen for His direction, and give God your yes?
OUR FINAL BEYOND OFFERING
The remaining need is significant. Our current estimate to complete the renovations at 7105 Hohman Avenue is $500,000. But we sure do serve a BIG GOD! We believe this is yet another opportunity for our church family to trust The Lord together. Just as your generosity has helped us SEND BEYOND in Merrillville and BUILD BEYOND in Hammond, every dollar given through our final Beyond Offering will go toward completing the renovations at 7105 Hohman Avenue.
If you cannot join us in person this Sunday, or you would like to give ahead of time, you can participate by clicking HERE.
Anthem Family, one more time, let’s finish Beyond the same way we started almost two years ago….together. Praying together. Seeking God together. Giving together. Obeying together. We have seen what God can do through a church family that says YES. Let’s bring Him our YES one more time and FINISH BEYOND!
We love you, Anthem Family! What a joy it is to be part of the Kingdom of God for such a time as this! We hope to see you at any of our 6 Homecoming Celebrations this Sunday!
