 I want to say a word of appreciation to all of you. To the Laity and the Clergy of the North Texas Conference of the Yaimethus Church. We know that 2020 was a challenging year to be in ministry for our clergy, it was challenging for our laity as well, because nothing happened the way any of us would have expected it to have happened. But you were still the church. While you couldn't gather in person, in large groups, you were the church and the community. In all the communities across the North Texas Conference, they were deeply blessed by you, your presence, and your generosity. And I want to thank you for the way in which you've been generous to your neighbors and extending the hands of Christ to those who are in need. I also want to say this special word of gratitude as well. You have been very, very generous with your contributions. And so at the end of the year of 2020, you, the Laity and the Clergy of the North Texas Conference, have paid apportionments in the rate of 89%, which is approximately what was paid last year. So while there were financial difficulties at time, you have been most generous. And I want to thank you so very much for your generosity, not only locally, but to the larger church that is around the world. God bless you for your ministry and your generosity. Blessings.
