Become a Member & Sponsor a Bike!
If you have been thinking about becoming a member of Christ Church Cranbrook, there has never been a better time! Thanks to our partnership with Micah 6, a nonprofit community development organization serving Pontiac, when you become a member of Christ Church Cranbrook with a recurring gift of $10/week or $40/month or more, you will not only help empower ALL of the life-giving ministry we do here day in and day out, but you will help make a dream come true for a family unable to afford a bike of their own!
$10 a week (or more) can also change your life!
That’s right. For LESS than many of us spend on Starbucks each week, you can feel a part of this church in a way you never have before while turning your giving into a spiritual practice! How’s that? Just like daily prayer or weekly worship, giving in a regular, recurring way, not only helps others, but it can help you to feel more connected and committed to your faith community and to God – and THAT will have a profound and positive impact on your life.
Trust me, when my own giving went from sporadic to regular, and when it went from an amount I didn’t miss to an amount I actually had to budget around, I discovered what Jesus meant when he said, ‘where your treasure is, your heart will be also.” The spiritual practice of giving regularly, helped me to feel like I belonged! It helped me feel like I was a real partner in our faith community, rather than a spectator. Was scary at first? Absolutely! Commitment always is, isn’t it? But like any relationship, it’s how we grow. And I never looked back.
Give it a try. Take a leap of faith, and let me know if you too see a change in your life for the better.
