Frankly Speaking
Our Body Life Meeting this past Sunday Night (8/19) was awesome! God is doing an amazing work in the life of our church! In the last five weeks He has blessed us with 6 baptisms and 12 people joining our church by letter or statement. That is 18 additions to our church! Hallelujah! Since January 1, 2018, God has blessed us with 86 additions to our membership through baptisms, church letter transfers, and statements of faith. Wow!We also broke the 300 mark for the first time in Sunday School this past Sunday (8/19) with 305 in attendance! Praise the Lord! Every Sunday we have visitors all over the Sanctuary because you are inviting people to church.We were also able to transfer money from our General Fund to our Growth Fund because of your faithful giving to the Lord’s work. Then, we unanimously voted to take $100,000.00 from the Growth Fund to pay on loan principal. With this transfer, we have now paid a total of $370,000.00 extra on loan principal in the first 9 months of the loan! Thank you, Jesus!
All I can say is “to God be the glory, great things He has done!” What a mighty God we serve! Let’s continue to pray that God’s Holy Presence will continue to work in a powerful way in the life of His Church at Rye Hill.
In Christ,
Michael Franklin
