For the first quarter of the year, the Finance Team is pleased to report that the giving of our tithes and offerings have surpassed our need. Our giving is ahead of this time last year. In addition, due to a milder winter our expenses are also down compared to last year.
The congregation has given to various ministries above and beyond our general budget. Our ability to support these ministries through the monthly Communion offerings and other gifts allows these ministries to do great things in the community.
Due to your generosity, we have been able to make kitchen equipment repairs. We made lighting upgrades in the bathrooms, replacement of the emergency lights, and the lower stairway lights. We have been able to purchase new pulpit scarves for the sanctuary.
We want to thank all of you who have given to support our general budget expenses and outreach. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
