Easter Offering

The annual Easter offering typically provides an opportunity for the church family to give to a special need that is not included in the budget.  This year, the Easter offering was designated for some much-needed capital improvements at the church.  The Easter offering amounted to $17,987.  The proceeds were allocated to the following important projects:

• Repair the CE wing roof to mitigate water leaks                   $5,300
• Replace the air conditioning unit in the Primary area          $3,013
• Replace the air conditioning unit in the Mizpah area           $7,995
• Install windows in staff office doors to provide visibility   $  879
• Add an access door to the Nursery to accommodate nursing mothers$  800

This work has now been completed.  Thank you for your continued faithful support of this ministry.  – Dave Cummings and the Finance Committee

Giving Report

From the Pastor …

Just this week I received a letter from a ministry showing that their giving was more than $500,000 in the red.  Another church was more than $300,000 under budget in their offerings.  For many months the economy has suffered, and many have lost jobs.  Some of you have felt the pressure of these unstable times and continue to be stretched in your own budget.  Yet, throughout this year and even during these summer months, you have faithfully supported the Lord’s work.  With gratitude to God and to His people, I rejoice in your generous and sacrificial giving to the ongoing ministries of this church.  I also want to thank the staff for their careful stewardship.  The Finance Committee has done a commendable job in overseeing the expenditures.  Together, may our hearts rejoice in God’s goodness, and may He bless each of you in meeting all of your needs (cf. Philippians 4:19).
