I’m surprised that they don’t make their finances public. My parish publishes its budget every year (including support for the Catholic school that is attached). The buildings are all old (church and school) so there are big maintenance expenses that come up annually.
“..900k is not a great deal of money for Church of that size.”
He said in the letter that they were okay until this weekend’s offerings, which were half of what they thought they would be. So they were expecting $1.8 million for a weekend!!?? I imagine they were looking at the last-minute payers for the quarter or something? (I know on our offering we pay by the month, and the building fund on the quarters).
McCain would have been 100 times better. Shoot, my tomcat would have been 100 times better.
TWO DAYS before the end of the year, I need $900,000 from you... and PS, I love you all so much
It seems Rick has learned a thing or two about crises from Obama. Create a crisis and then take advantage of it...?
I don’t think so. I believe he takes no salary and gioves a large portion of his book royalties to the church or other Christian purposes; or at least he used to.
I also think he has gotten away from the purpose of the church on too many occasions. Maybe he needs to focus on spreading the Gospel and not a social gospel.
This is a small number for a church this size. The average attendance is 22000. 900,000 is about 40 per person. Hardly a huge stretch for a church.
Christmas cheer is EXPENSIVE ya know....
I’d suffocate in a social-gospel-only church.
Saddleback needs $900,000 - I guess that makes them Brokeback.
Warren is a POS. Did the faithful at his church finally wake up and leave his clown church? I bet they did. He is an Obama and Muslim lover. Phony prosperity preacher con artist scum.
I would not attend a church that fails to openly disclose the financials on a regular basis.
**On the last weekend of 2009, our total offerings were less than half of what we normally receive - leaving us $900,000 in the red for the year, unless you help make up the difference today and tomorrow. **
That’s what happens when you bakc Obortion Obama!
LOL!

Have wondered, given Paul's devotion to Judaism and his great teacher if he was, indeed, in Jerusalem at the time of the Passover/Crucifixion, even a witness. When on the road to Damascus and Jesus spoke to him, Paul already seemed to know who Jesus was. Maybe that was because any soul would recognize Jesus in a burst of light.
Sorry for the temporary thread hijacking.

I believe you about McCain. What is wrong with your cat that he wouldn't be 200 times better?
You beat me to it!
