I have a lot of memories of the changing seasons at Central Wesleyan Church, some were exciting and motivating and some we had to exercise our faith and trust God to see us through the times of great challenge. But through it all God has and continues to lead us on a journey that has changing seasons, it is highly rewarding to join Him on this journey.
As we look over the past year we give witness to the Lord’s handiwork. Some of the evidences of God at work among us: at $8.4 million, we set a new record in giving by more than $1.2 million that was up over the prior year by 24.2%, Outreach Investment (missions) set a new all-time record of $1.82 million which was up 24.4% over the prior year and represented 26.8% of all giving excluding Capital Stewardship, and attendance at all campuses totaled 4,201 which was up 199 or 5%. These numbers are, of course, only an objective indicator of the much greater work that God is doing among us evidenced by life change all around us. It has often been said that the best days of the church are before us, it certainly seems like we are living that vision in this season.
