At Awaken we have committed to giving half of our money away that comes in through the giving on Sundays. We have just reached $1,000. We have many ideas and some things already in place. We look forward to taking up money each week, because we can literally see how much is going back out to connect with our community and make a change in peoples lives. Some ideas people mentioned last night are: Hospital bills, the homeless, a neighbor in need and more. We look forward to seeing what God is going to do in our community.
If you are reading this and you live in Chattanooga, we invite you to join us as we are forming Awaken Community Church. We launch September 13th, 2009.

Good Thoughts Jennifer. Thanks for your comment.
This is what really stands out to me about Awaken...literally putting money where your mouth is!! It speaks volumes. To the church and the community.
You are not kidding Michelle. I know it is going to speak to the community, but I like how you noted that it will speak to the church. The church has wanted to give more of itself for a long time. Now people have the chance to do it. With their money, but also with their lives.
