Leaving Your Mark ...
=============================================================
This fundraiser event is to help raise
funds to pay for the completion of our new 4,500 sq.ft. activity
center, which will house two offices, one large kitchen, one
large devotion hall, and three large classrooms. Our activity
center will allow us to expand many of our existing community
services and implement some new critical services to meet the
needs of today's community; such as, but not limited to: Bible
classes, educational tutoring, counseling, adult/youth computer
resource lab for education and employment, food and clothing
distribution, rental hall for such activities as graduation,
wedding, Quinceneras, anniversary, and other ceremonial
receptions. This mult-purpose building, adjacent to our historic
Pentecostal church of worship, will serve as a community
outreach center. Pastor John's vision for now, and in the
future, is to finish this building project without borrowing
money, and to use every penny collected from fundraisers and
gracious donors for completion of our new activity center.
The church congregation is made up of
approximately 180 members, diverse through generational
representation. Our church provides traditional worship,
Biblical teaching and preaching, funeral and wedding ceremonies,
special holiday celebrations, drama productions, and specific
age appropriate ministries for any demographic. Since the very
first ground breaking initiative and the onset of our
construction work, there have been numerous fundraiser
activities to raise direct funds for the construction and
completion of our activity center. Our church will continue to
plan and execute our fundraisers within the community until our
activity center is complete and ready to share as God's work of
fellowship and the wide array of individual and family needs.
We welcome you to stop by and tour our
new activity building under construction.
The proceeds from each brick sale will
also be used to construct the next phase of this project. The
location of this walk(handicap accessible)will be strategically
placed to utilize the space we have behind our activity center.
It will include beautiful landscape installed by our church
members, enclosed BBQ pit station, picnic tables, benches, and a
courtyard with a Prayer Fountain.
Our vision
for the new outdoor project will be to have a peaceful place for
contemplation and prayer where parishioners and visitors can
sit, walk, honor their loved ones, and have devotion with God.

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK:
In our walk of faith, one
of the most precious gifts from our Father is the generosity He
instills in donors like you. We have become closely dependent on
the strengths of our fellow volunteers, the many fund raising
efforts, and the contributions from cheerful givers.
Our goal is to spread the
Gospel to the world as God has instructed us. This new building,
that Jerusalem Family Praise Center is in the process of
completing construction on, will serve as a covering to many in
need of spiritual guidance. This newly constructed building will
also serve, in the near future, as a refuge for the youth of
this community to partake in many favorable activities. Your
donation will help make this possible.
Thank you for allowing me
this moment you have given to share a need that we, as a
community, have. May the Lord's blessings be upon you in your
daily walk. Peace be with you.
Rev. John Carmona, Senior Pastor
A word from our Lord,
"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver."
2 Corinthians 9:7
