Dear
Friends,
Do you like to hear good news? I know I
do! Our church has recently shared some good news regarding the generous
financial giving of our congregation.
The first piece
of good news is that our church was able to send a check of $8,889.48
on December 31st to Imagine No Malaria,
our West Ohio Conference missions initiative. This will buy 1,777 nets to
protect children from mosquito bites while they sleep at night. We are a church
that is helping to save lives in the name of Christ!
The good news
continues! On Sunday, January 19th during our morning worship
services, Scott Reed, our Finance Chairperson announced to the congregation
that our Crossroads facility loan which began at 4.2 million when it was built in 2006, is now well
under the one million dollar mark! It now stands at $965,729. We are nearing the
end of the third year of a five-year campaign with the goal of paying off the
loan by May, 2016.
Hearing good news
like this motivates me to be even more generous in sharing my prayers,
presence, gifts, service and witness through our church. What an exciting time
to be part of First United Methodist Church!
Gratefully Yours,
Pastor
Robert
