Driving down South Tryon Street, some of you might have seen this banner high up on what used to be a Hollywood Video store.

And now that space is our Corner Campus.

We’re going to be able to upfit it nicely, and transform an abandoned DVD rental unit into a sacred youth space.

Why?

Because the people of Good Shepherd came through so well in the Without Limit 2.0 campaign.

A special one-year, over-and-above giving emphasis that will allow us to become a without limit kind of church.

313 households pledged $410,000 on top of what they already give to God through the church.

The best part?

Because we are tithing the campaign pledge, today we get to deliver a $41,000 check to Charlotte’s Crisis Assistance Ministry, whose three-pronged focus is rent, utilities, dignity.

That’s a “big thing” for a church and a city in the middle of a recession.
