Worship as Worthship

Giving Statement Letter
This post explains that 2025 giving statements were sent through PushPay and includes the letter that accompanied them. The letter reflects on a milestone year marked by guest speakers, gospel partnerships, and the launch of the ADVANCE Vision Initiatives in view of Metro Life’s 50th anniversary in 2035. It reports encouraging momentum and financial stability with roughly 92 days of operating reserves, while also acknowledging that regular giving declined about 4% below budget and fluctuated significantly month to month. Those swings affected planning and contributed to the decision not to provide cost-of-living increases for staff, even as the church remains committed to fair compensation and care for leaders and employees. The post emphasizes gratitude for the generosity already present in the church and explains how consistent giving rhythms help steward resources wisely, support ministry, and care for staff, noting that January giving is up 5%. It closes by grounding generosity in God’s provision and grace, thanking the church for giving that flows from joy rather than pressure.

The Way of the Righteous
We heard from Psalm 1 on Sunday and it makes the loud statement that we cannot take the way of the righteous too seriously. Each one of us must consider what influences us (vv. 1-2), what our life is producing (vv. 3-4), and where we are headed (vv. 5-6).
Okay, I don't typically blog twice in the same week, but a few stories have come up that I think will encourage us all to pursue our brothers and sisters when they find themselves in the wilderness.
