A Prayerful Invitation to Help Close Our FY 2026 Financial Gap

Thank you for your participation in Esperanza’s Time, Talent & Treasure.

On Sunday, February 8th, 2026, Esperanza Treasurer Mark Krach spoke about our current financial status and the 2026 Appeal program. His speech included the PowerPoint presentation linked below.

As you know, we finished our fall stewardship campaign about 10% short of what we had planned. This email, and the PowerPoint (provided below as a PDF) constitute an appeal to explain the need to prayerfully consider helping to close the gap on our 2026 budget deficit that we are currently projecting.
