Today, the WELS News bulletin insert gave the bar charts through June.
Michigan District: $890,289 down $99,681 from 2006 which is a $20,601 greater deficit from May ($79,080). So Michigan continues to fade.
Synod: $8,880,447 down $175,660 from 2006 but which is $121,920 more positive than the May deficit ($297,580). The synod appeal seems to be working a little bit in somewhere.
Only January and April (Easter) were on a par with 2006 with April somewhat greater (not in Michigan) for the synod totals...
Come on, Wayne, poke Michigan in the eye again. That really motivates giving.
ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
