PRAYERS FOR Navarro ISD

Happy New Year, family! We are so thankful for the opportunity to be able to use and meet on the Navarro Intermediate School campus in the coming year. We would like to ask that you join us in lifting up the campuses of Navarro ISD in prayer. This week, we'd like to cover the Navarro Elementary School campus. Please be in prayer for the children in attendance, the teachers and staff, continued excellence in education and above all, safety for all.

LAUNCH 2026

Today is the final day we are accepting ballots for the Launch 2026 vote. If, by chance, you are still unfamiliar with the particulars of the Coordinating Council motion brought before the church in December, you can find printed informational booklets on the Sanctuary foyer counter, labeled Launch 2026. Ballots can be picked up in the Sanctuary foyer. One ballot/one vote per person. When you are ready to cast your ballot, we will have locked boxes available along with a church deacon present to count your vote (for the sake of making sure we have only one vote per person). Ballots will only be accepted on Sunday mornings, at the lock boxes with a deacon present.

END OF YEAR GIVING

Every January the church mails out individual contribution statements for your tax purposes. These statements take an extreme amount of time and work for multiple people, so I ask for your patience and to please note the following:

• • Statements will be mailed out, via USPS, on January 30 – no earlier or later, no other form. This may be a good time to make sure your address is updated with the church office…

  • We only mail statements of $100+. Only statements totaling less than $100 can be picked up here at the office (and then only on request).

  • Most member statements will be separated out between regular tithes and special offerings (aka budget and designated). Therefore, you will be sent 1-2 sheets with your name, depending on what you gave to.

    • Note: We create a statement based on the name on the envelope in which we receive the tithe/offering. Sometimes those names are not legible, or someone switches between a nickname & birth name – so our accountant does his best, though he isn’t as familiar with the members as we are. There will be some of you that receive more than 2 sheets (with a close adaptation of your name at the top).

  • Prepare now!! When you receive your statement, we hope you will look it over carefully and compare with your records. If there is anything we miss please call the church office to speak with either Stefanie or Holly, as soon as possible. Please have a date, check number (if applicable), and dollar amount ready to give.
