A Fellow Giver

November 22nd, 2008 |

Ask folks what their number one concern is right now and many would probably tell you the state of the economy. These are indeed uncomfortable and in many ways uncertain times financially. The backlash is being felt by almost every aspect of our society – even the church. We continue to operate on a very tight budget and this was certainly on our minds as we contemplated the financial needs for the upcoming year. For months now, the staff and Stewardship Team have been working on a budget for 2009 that would be realistic, but at the same time challenging. We have completed our work and it will be presented Sunday night, November 23, prior to the evening service. The Team will be available for any questions or concerns that you have on Wednesday nights, December 3 & 10, from 6 to 7 P.M. in the church office on the second floor. We will vote on the 2009 budget prior to the evening service on December 14. I assure you that all the changes, whether they were increases or decreases, were discussed thoroughly and considered prayerfully. We will be voting on a proposed budget. If the money is given, then this is how it will be spent. This new budget will become both a guide and as well as a goal.

A Fellow Giver,
