Look Beyond
What is Look Beyond?
Look Beyond is a Capital Stewardship Journey that Southwood launched in February 2008. It is an effort to take the largest step possible toward eliminating the debt on our new church building, so that more of the resources Southwood's people give to the church can be used to maximize ministry and mission, and less spent on interest payments on the mortgage.
Where are we now?
Southwood has received 358 pledges from Southwood families. Their 3-year commitments to Look Beyond total $1,950,408. In addition, Southwood's youth have pledged $9,000, and the Sunday School students collected $645.37 in their Pennies for the People penny drive.
Why Look Beyond now?
We are preparing for our future. We want to be good stewards of the gifts and resources given to us, and the less we spend on interest, the more we will have to reach out and serve more people in our community and around the world.
What does Look Beyond mean for me?
As part of Look Beyond, we are asking every family in our church to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial commitment, over and above ongoing tithes and offerings, to be given over the next three years. Look Beyond is essential to our future and you are vital to its success. It's never too late to make a pledge! Contact Lori Changstrom for a pledge card or give to Look Beyond online.
