Summer is finally in sight, and with summer comes our annual Renovate initiative. Through your hard work and sacrificial giving over the past four summers, we’ve been able to renovate the following areas: AkolooLand, KidsLife, Christian Life classrooms, the Auditorium, multiple bathrooms, and much, much more!

It is with great excitement, that we announce our focus this summer will be our Main Sanctuary. In 1986, the Sanctuary of Rockford First was built and has since served as a place where thousands of people gather every week to experience and grow strong in God. As we celebrate all that God has done over the past 25 years, we also look to the future with great anticipation. It is our desire to be the best stewards of this space that God has given us and refresh it so it is ready for all the life change and ministry that will take place, for years to come!

As in years past, the only money spent during Renovate is that which is given during the Renovate offering. So, we will do as much as we can in the Sanctuary this summer with the money and volunteers that we have! This year’s offering will take place on Sunday, June 26. We ask that you prayerfully consider what God would have you contribute to this great effort. We will also be in need of volunteers to help with renovations, which will begin the last week of June.

Please pray about how you can get involved with this year's Renovate project, whether by making a donation, volunteering, or both! Click on the tabs above to see how you can join the Renovate 2011 team.

With Excitement,
