Oso Creek Economy

We keep hearing over and over how hard times are economically. No doubt that our economic times have changed.

But more than a time for panic, it is a time to thank God for incredible opportunity!

In Luke 21 Jesus is telling about a time when there will be wars and revolutions and famines and earthquakes and fearful events and persecution . . . and then He says: "This will be your opportunity to tell them about me." (Luke 21:13)

Now, I don't know if this is THAT time . . . but it's THIS time - a time of fear and panic in our world - and a time for us to rise up as those who care for the poor and widows and marginalized.

At Oso Creek we have felt some economic slowdown. Why, I'm not exactly sure. But I want to be honest with you about the numbers -- Our regular budget through February was $62,500 and giving was $39,656. That's 37% below our budget.

But you know what, we DO NOT believe that God wants us to back down from giving ourselves away in great ways. Yes, beginning in March we are taking some stop gap measures to curtail some spending. We are seeking to be wise in every way possible, but still pressing on in being 'on mission.'

Will you go with us? We are looking harder than ever to find ways to impact our community and world with good deeds and Great News about Jesus. Don't miss it! Generously join us in making the most of every opportunity!
