Five Year Statistical Report

---

---

The Annual Report of the church will be (or was, depending on your mail service) distributed at the second half of the annual meeting on Thursday, January 17. If you can't get one there please pick one up near the church office.

It contains my fifth annual report since coming to Bethlehem.  So I have stepped back to see what has happened and to assess our progress.  The statistical part of the report is found below.  The less measurable (but often more important) progress is in the longer report.

Let us be in earnest prayer about what these facts imply for our future together.
