Memory Verse: Psalm 23:1-6 •• 1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” GENERAL FUND YTD–FEB 2015 TOTAL FINAL ROCK GIVING: $7,207,263 MORTGAGE LOAN BALANCE: $689,111 AS OF 2/28/2015 INCOME EXPENSES SURPLUS (DEFICIT) $3,334,767 $4,749,047 $(1,414,280)
