Jots from Jim

As we begin the new year here are a few bits of information:

Our General Fund appears to be out 1. of the hole at the end of the year. We are still in the process of finalizing the reports for 2010 but every indication points to a positive balance in the General Fund.

Our 2010 average worship attendance 2. ended up at 804. While this is down from the previous year, it still remains above the 800 mark, which is a key indicator for a large congregation.

Our Christmas Eve worship attendance 3. was 2,337.

All of our apportionments to the Capital 4. Area North District and to the West Ohio Conference have been paid in full for 2010.

Thank you. Simple words shared from 5. a grateful heart of a pastor. Thank you for all you have done to bring Messiah back to a position of better financial stability.
