Final 2019 OAK GROVE CHURCH FINANCIAL REPORT UPDATE
Praise God! Two weeks ago our year-end giving goal was short $4,999. On Sunday during our Annual Meeting we received a gift for $4,999. God at work through those he’s called to OGC; Courageous faith!
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 New English Translation (NET Bible)
6 My point is this: The person who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the person who sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver.

This is the 2018 year-end final request.
- Good news! We received $12,000 toward our YEAR-END ADDITIONAL GIVING GOAL OF $26,000!
- However, we ended the year needing $14,000 more so that our giving would match our spending for the year.
If you can help reduce our $14,000 deficit, please act now by check or online noting on your offering “2018 YEAR END GIFT”.
On January 11, 2019 we will announce our year-end results during the Annual Meeting. Thank you.

- Our checking account balance has increased from $10,000 to $13,000.
- Our US Bank credit card account has been reduced from $6,300 to $0.

A reminder:
We need the church’s help with offerings. Offerings increased 3% in 2016 and 5% in 2017. During 2018 we approved a 5% increase however our offerings so far have increased about 1% since the beginning of the year. Assuming current giving continues and we receive an additional $16,000 by December 31 we will fulfill our commitments.
