RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … During what was likely the last meeting of the RMC Executive Committee before the 2022 Quinquennium Session of the Conference, the Committee reviewed preparations on June 14 for its upcoming session. Reports are being finalized, it was shared, both in print and video, and the session program as well as materials for the delegates, are nearly ready.

Regular agenda items included the treasury report prepared by Darin Gottfried, RMC VP of finance, and presented by Jodi Coulter, associate treasurer, who reported that the base tithe for the Conference is currently up .23% over the previous year, though we currently have one Sabbath more in 2022 than we had in 2021. Commenting on the effect of inflation on the conference finances, the treasurers reported a 9.92% tithe increase over the past 10 years when adjusted for inflation. But we are down 8.07% so far in 2022.

By Rajmund Dabrowski – Denver, Colorado … Participation in regular morning worship at the Rocky Mountain Conference office increased by 18 visiting participants on June 13, representing a group of young literature evangelists.

“Our office leadership team had a serendipitous encounter with the LE team that leader Matt Hasty put together for this summer,” explained Mic Thurber, RMC president.

In preparation and planning for the 2022 summer canvasing, the group meets in Greeley, Colorado and a visit to the regional church offices gave them an opportunity to get acquainted with the head-office and its activities. The LE group regularly meets to pray, study to be better equipped in their work for the Lord, one participant explained. Canvassers also shared their witnessing stories with the RMC group.
