Stewardship Update
Mt. Bethel has 2,412 families (giving units) and thus far, 1,230 have returned their commitment cards for a total of $8,051,663. Our current operating budget for 2012/13 is $9,500,000.
I have been a pastor for forty-five years and in that time the most asked question has been, "Where is Jesus in all of this?" This has been asked a lot lately due to the school shootings where innocent children have lost their lives and the tornados in Oklahoma where there was the devastation of homes and property and loss of lives. This is also a question that has been asked in our church because of the suffering of some of our saints and the hardships of those who seem to be doing the will of the Lord. The answer is simple but yet very complex.
