He says "With 10 percent of our church family out of work due to the recession, our expenses in caring for our community in 2009 rose dramatically while our income stagnated," the letter reads.

LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- Evangelical pastor Rick Warren, who generated
controversy for giving the invocation at President Barack Obama's
inauguration, is asking followers to donate nearly $1 million by the
year's end.
Pastor Warren posted a letter on the Saddleback Church's Web site late Wednesday, appealing to parishioners to help fill a $900,000 deficit.
The message begins, "Dear Saddleback Family, THIS IS AN URGENT LETTER."
