Rebate Checks

Rebate checks for 2010 will be mailed to congregations early in February. We won't have final amounts until we close our fiscal year on January 31 but it looks like 80% of the borrowing congregations will get almost $400,000 in extra cash for their budgets. Congregational representatives should plan to present the check to leaders. It is a great time to talk about partnership and promote new investments in Texas CEF. Make your 2011 rebate even bigger.

100Plus1 Matching Gifts

Texas CEF matched over $90,000 in gifts to Texas Partners In Mission in 2010. A special thanks to all of the investors who participated in 100Plus1 in 2010. Your investments and gifts truly make a difference in ministries throughout Texas. More about 100Plus1.

Scripture

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world -- the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does -- comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."
1 John 2:15-17
