General Fund Results Through October

Like September, October pledge giving was well below average.  YTD pledge giving, while considerably below last year, is still ahead of budget but this favorability is declining.  This is due largely to givers who have paid ahead or already paid their full annual pledge.  Unpledged giving, while bolstered by a large donation from the Preschool, is still well short of Budget.

Thanks to continued focus on cost containment, expenses YTD are less than budget.  However, it’s worth noting that several larger property-related expenses have been paid from the Property Renovation dedicated fund.

As a result, YTD Net Income is positive.  However, since the favorability in pledge giving will almost certainly decline over the balance of the year, we still expect a net shortfall for the full year, although somewhat less than previously projected.

Come join us at worship this Sunday!  You'll have another opportunity to place your pledge in the gift box. Many have already participated and we are missing you! 

Come and see your puzzle. Remember all pieces are the same size regardless of the size of your gift...each of you is important to complete the puzzle. Anticipating your response, I have embellishments to add, so if you are donor #61, a surprise will be added.

If your pledge card has found a hiding place in your home, we have additional forms at church. If you prefer, submit your pledge online by clicking here.

Thank you each and every one!
