Behold the Lamb of God
Friday, December 19th // 6:30pm
Behold the Lamb of God is a collection of songs, originally written and performed by Andrew Peterson, that tell the story of the birth of Jesus, starting with Moses. Matt and Heather Wallace have kept a tradition of playing through the complete concert with friends, and are continuing that tradition with the help of 19 (!) musicians and vocalists at CGNE.
Come join in the circle, invite a friend, and sing out with joy together to celebrate the “true tall tale” of the coming of Christ.

Annual Financial Update
The elders provided an encouraging annual financial update to the congregation on Sunday, October 5, including a 2 Year Vision & Focus plan that has been carefully developed over the past few months with input from both the congregation and the community.
If you have not already, please take a few minutes to listen to the update or review the handout here to catch the vision for where we are moving toward as a church. For more specific details, feel free to review our summary of the budget for the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year (which started on September 1st).
We are excited to share a budget that is “balanced” for the first time in three years. Naturally, this budget will only remain balanced as God works through each of us in our giving. We have budgeted our income this year to be at the same level as we have been giving for the past 6 months, which helps to give us confidence that God will continue to provide for our financial needs.
We have prepared an FAQ document to answer some additional financial questions that you might have.
As always, we value transparency with our finances, and would be happy to provide additional details or answer any other questions, as necessary, and feel free to reach out to elders@cgnortheast.com.
Monthly Financial Update
At just over 1 month into our new Fiscal Year, we are off to a strong start!
Offerings: $53,700 (including several one-time larger gifts)
Expenses: $32,900 (thanks to timing of certain expenses later in the year)
This solid financial foundation gives us confidence as we begin implementing the vision our elders shared. We are excited about the direction God is leading us in!
Are you seeking to partner with us financially with a one-time or recurring gift?
Thank you for your faithful generosity!
Monthly Prayer Meeting
Join us the 1st Sunday of the month in the CGNE prayer room. We’ll start at 8:45 am and will have dedicated time to listen, respond and praise God!
Our new prayer room is available for you to pray in before or after service! It is located in the back of the sanctuary near fire exit on the west side.
