You don't hear this everyday...
It came from my home church in Oklahoma. I just recieved the monthly newsletter in the mail and found some really encouraging news.
Besides the fact that the church has grown from the mid-200s to nearly 400 every Sunday from Fall 2004 to Advent 2005, it seems giving is up. Not just general giving, but for the Deacon's Fund! No one was "putting the sell" for this fund, but somehow giving to this fund in 2005 was up 78% from 2004! That is so amazing and is a wonderful testimony of God's love pouring out from those he has shown love to.

The reason is obvious- you were holding them back. Once you were out of the way, they started growing again.
HA!
