David, I am the finance Chairperson at my church and believe me, I know how tough these times are for many congregations. In fact, at a congregational dinner on Wednesday night where we were talking about stewardship and makign good use of God's gifts, we sang the very song that Karen quoted, a song that all of our kids remember learning as they grew up in our church. The buildings and programs add to the church, but they are not It's foundation, for sure.
I will keep your congregation in my prayers.
Logan
