Summer | Giving Update
I want to take a moment to celebrate together, to say thank you. I also want to point out what God is doing when each of us takes the opportunity to give generously to others through Canyon Ridge. Awesome stuff gets to happen! I love hearing all of the stories about what God's up to in each of your lives.
It's also really important to celebrate the stories we write together, like the story of nearly 300 baptisms since the beginning of 2022. Almost 500 people learned a basic tool kit to set out as disciple-makers alongside others by going through Discover Canyon Ridge. It's been awesome to see people engage the church for the first time, and many return after a challenging season. Attendance since last year has increased by 42%. Also, how can we not celebrate Easter? What a great to be together?! There are so many great stories to celebrate!
We're also in a camp coming out of a camp and family fun night season. We've seen hundreds of kids go to middle school and high school camp with great effect, including those in my own family. It's so important for those kids to spend time encountering God together alongside some really great loving adults who are pointing toward Jesus!
Like I said, watching stories pop up over and over acknowledging what God does in our lives is so, so good. We can't fail to point out the truth that none of this would be possible without us together giving generously at Canyon Ridge. So I just want to say thank you!
Keep going! God is up to important things in our church, and we get to celebrate and experience those together across our church and our city. Let's keep giving together.
