MORNING ROUNDUP:
Note:
Little Vatican, which Big Pulpit operates under, is starting their new fundraising initiative. We are requesting recurring monthly donations from our loyal visitors. We have almost recovered from our personal family losses during Christmastide and Epiphanytide but have left us paying off debts. Our web host, URL subscriptions, and other ancillary monthly services continue to rise in cost. We are requesting recurring monthly donations of $9 or more. If we can reach $1,500 of recurring monthly donations, we will not need to worry for the rest of the calendar year. Thank you for your patronage and loyalty.
