Dear friends of G. Hope,
I wanted to share with you some good news on the church's financial front. This past Sunday, our treasurer Becky reported that during the past half of our current fiscal year (July-Dec 2010; our fiscal year runs from July to June), we exceeded expectations and had a net income of about $350. That was around $4,000 more than we had projected. (Although we had significantly cut costs, we were still projecting to lose about $3,800 in that time.) This was also the first time that we broke even after coming off our denomination's church plant grants. This represents a milestone for us; thanks to the Lord's provision and your partnership, we are maturing as a church and mission in our neighborhood. This is an encouragement for us as we look forward to what the Lord has for us in the future. May we be emboldened to take steps in a life of faith and mission. Praise the Lord with us. Thank you for your support and friendship.
This Saturday, we will hold a prayer retreat. The theme for our day will be "Loving Each Other into Mission." Our friend from Spirit & Truth Fellowship, Barbara Weidman, will be leading the time. Please pray with us that the Spirit will make us one, that he will renew us in our love for the Lord, his kingdom, and each other, and that he will lead us to walk together into the next stages of our mission in Germantown.
I praise the Lord for your friendship with us in the ministry! May the Lord quicken in you also a love for his kingdom and its news, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
