Finance Update for
February / March 2022

The Christmas offering to date is $1,803 and is to be split 50-50 between Hearts for the Homeless and Journey’s End. 

Thank you all for a very successful pledge campaign as those who make a financial pledge to the church, and do so within the requested time frame, make the work of the Finance Team much easier. Without the support of pledge information, it is very difficult to construct a budget for the following year. By late fall the expense requests from the various teams and the projection for staff salaries are available. However, if we don’t have the pledges to create the revenue side of the budget, we have to work through and then rework the budget several times. In the past the Finance Team has had difficulty recommending a budget to the Church Council before the end of the calendar year. 

We received a total of $5,765 for our Memorial Fund this past year. 

We received $359 for the Turkey Baskets Offering and our Thanksgiving Offering was $567. 

The United Methodist Student Offering was $52.
