Alumni Dispatch #4: Y'all Come Home!
HEY EVERYBODY!
Have you ever spent a summer learning acronyms and metaphors generally related to both construction and the Gospel? Do letters or words like CUURB, BEARD, LPPTSH, SSDUBS, ABCD, EBC, SOS, milkshakes, PEOPLE!, G--O--O--D-E-V-E-N-I-N-G and “think like a raindrop” speak your language? Have you spent many, many days that both start and end in the chapel...with morning discipleship and all-camp chapel at night?
…and lived to tell about it?!
This is for you.
Happy Monday! Y’all, it’s getting real! I’m so excited to finally get to share with you that...
press PLAY! press PLAY!
Well, yeah! That!
Email #1 teased that a BIG CELEBRATION would ensue when BIG GOALS were met. And because we are T-H-I-S-close to that big $10,000 goal and it’s dollar-for-dollar match, it’s time to announce something big that just gives us SO much joy!
A never-before, EBC-exclusive, all-inclusive, SOS-alumni family reunion celebration weekend.
You, your family, and the rest of the EBC family.
Back at SOS in Memphis, Tennessee. ‘Cuz we always #choose901.
Do not miss this weekend:
Friday, September 24 - Sunday, September 26, 2021.
For a hundred reasons, but mostly for these top two:
In wild celebration of the EBC response and (almost!!*) fulfillment of the goal to increase annual EBC giving by $10,000. (*Y’all. 78% and closing in fast!)
Because you are the best of SOS. After a year of really unique sorrows and rock-solid norms being shaken, we want to celebrate the thing that really matters most to SOS...you. You are dynamic and eternal Kingdom Citizens making ripples of goodness that bounce around this Now-and-Not-Yet Kingdom every darn day. And, especially after a year of distancing and isolation, we want our family in the house!
Ready for this? Stoked by the giving from 14 new EBC members and 14 current members, EBC annual giving has increased by $7,849.92.
As of today, the EBC is representative of 20% of all summer staff, comprised of 111 members and gives $4,638.60 monthly for an annual contribution total of $55,663.20!
Will you help us close the gap? Only $180 in monthly giving to finish off this EBC giving campaign AND clinch the $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match.
Big goals almost met and big celebrations in the works? Best email.
I like you people,
Papa Phil
