December 8, 2008--Church stuff

Our church is struggling financially, and we really need to do some updates on the building and spend money on outreach. The people have been very generous to us and have paid us a full time salary, but Erick and I have talked a lot and feel that they can't afford to be as generous to us as they'd like to be and still be able to do the other things that we need to do if we ever want to grow as a church. So he approached the board last night about becoming bi-vocational. He'll probably go back to Walmart and work part-time there, and then the church can cut his pay. He said they were really torn about the idea, because they hate to cut his pay, but we really think that this is the best thing for the church at this time. They are going to vote on it next week
