Church Finances

For the first six months of the year, we are short of our budget forecast, $6,198 in our general fund, and short $1,348 in our mission giving, although we have received an additional $2,323 in special mission giving. These figures represent what we had hoped to raise in order to fulfill our church’s mission. Since we have kept spending down to a bare minimum, we have reduced expenses but still find ourselves having paid out $2,090 more through the first six months of the year than we have received through our offerings, which means we have had to dip into other funds. This is a great concern for us. Please pray for our church and for our financial needs. Thank you.
