The State Journal reports on the increase in giving recently.
“ROCK BRANCH -- The State of the Plate survey of more than 1,500 churches across the country found 43 percent saw an increase in giving.
"We haven't noticed a considerable decline in giving here other than people loosing good jobs," says Reverend Delbert Hawley, pastor of Rock Branch Independent Church.
“He says energy efficient bulbs are one way the church has saved money. He remembers how retired church members also helped the church save money by helping build the current sanctuary.
"They just reported here for work," says Hawley.”
