2009 Compassion Performing Arts Series
Dear Church Family,
This last year was our first run at the Compassion Performing Arts Series. I
am so pleased with the results. The concerts were well attended, the artists
were fantastic and the food for the dinner portion was excellent. We raised
a significant amount of money for our first year and we were able to
positively impact two well deserving ministries in our community. The
events brought out a host of our own church family in meaningful servant
hood roles and the Name of Christ was honored at each event.
The last concert, Newsong, resulted in a number of people making personal
commitments to Jesus Christ! It was a great first year.
There was no way we could have done this without your help. Thanks to those
who bought season tickets. Your faithful contributions made these events
possible. Thanks to those who bought tables. It was your generous gifts that
allowed us to underwrite the costs of the concerts. I am grateful for the
many volunteers who worked tirelessly out of the goodness of their hearts.
The office staff and the CPAS team also deserve hearty thanks. You
organized, planned, prayed and worked with great dedication. Thank you!
We are thankful to the Lord for guiding us on this trek. Originally, I had a
conversation with two men, Roy Morgan and Don Bulla, who wanted to find a
way to bring good Christian music to High Point. We knew the church would be
a great venue, but we wanted to do more than simply host some concert
events. We all felt that the concerts needed to have a lasting purpose. So
we prayed and asked the Lord if there was a way we could enjoy wonderful
music and also use that kind of event for His purposes. That's when the idea
of a Compassion Performing Arts Series was born. We believe this is more
than a concert series, it is a mission. It is a way for our congregation to
engage in local missions. Through your involvement we are directly touching
the lives of people in need here in our own community.
I hope that you will continue to be involved this next year. I also pray
that others, who have not yet been a part of the series, will do so this
year. Whether you enjoy certain artists or not, is really not the issue. The
artists we have come are top of the line, but the real purpose is ministry.
When we participate, we are serving our neighbors. It is a worthy cause that
I hope you will be a part of this next year.
We have four great concerts lined up for this coming year where the proceeds
will again benefit the community. Mandisa will be with us in March, Mark
Lowery in June, Brock Gill in September, and Newsong Christmas Tour again in
November or December.
Thanks again for your participation, and I hope to see you again this next
year at CPAS.
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Rick
