Let us pray: Dear Beloved Father:

We know it's tough to make ends meet through troubled times
as economic woes grow, bad to worse.
But call out to our family of treasured followers
to make a pledge today, give 'til it hurts.
Our coffers almost empty, but our flock stands faithful by
as we set out to shave the needy and bereft.
Together we can fleece our willing congregation
and I can live on any small change that's left.
So, give 'til it hurts. Give 'til it hurts. Make a pledge and give 'til it hurts.
That was today's speaker, the humble Reverend Gerald. Tune in to the National Godspend Channel next week.
Praise be to Him and HALLELUJAH. Remember to keep those pledges coming in and - give 'til it hurts.
