First Quarter Update
As we start the new spring season, I wanted to take a moment to stop, look back, and thank God and thank you all for some very encouraging reports that we're seeing at the end of our first quarter of 2024. Easter was a delightful celebration, with over 260 people attending!!
Without including those robust Easter numbers, from Jan-March we have seen a 15% total attendance on Sunday mornings (compared to 2023), or a 43% attendance increase if you just look at Banquet and Belong Sundays. We've also seen more than a 10% increase in financial giving this first quarter (compared to our 2024 budget), that extends to both pledged gifts and non-pledged gifts. Praise God!
While numbers only tell part of the story of what God is doing at LaSalle, these are very healthy indicators that so many of you are generously participating with your presence, your voices, and your financial tithes - Thank you!
Praise God for the ways in which all of this sowing, planting, and tilling and caring for the soil will keep making room for all that the Holy Spirit is growing in our midst - it continues to be More Than Enough!
So grateful!
