$OLLARS & CENTS
by Pat Gillespie
Just missed having a Gain at the end of the year! The helpful giving and wise spending greatly improved the financial situation from earlier in the year. Yes, your financial support makes a difference and is appreciated.
For you know of the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich,
yet for our sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:9

The work of Dallas UMC continues! Please remember to give your tithes, gifts, and offerings to keep vital ministries going. If you have been distracted and have forgotten to give - no worries!
