the Youth Minister, Erin Wolf

Greetings to all.
We are still in the midst of strange times, but we are learning to adapt and connect differently while we are apart. To those who have been and are celebrating birthdays, Happy Birthday! We have several students and adults who have been making the best of the current pandemic to still find ways to celebrate and share joy—may God’s blessings be upon you as you begin another year!
Here are some updates from the Youth Ministry at All Saints:
Sunday School and Youth Group
will be meeting via Zoom on Wednesdays for the remainder of the program year. Links for these calls are sent out via the Weekly Update emails and will NOT be posted publicly for security purposes. For those wishing to join us, please
contact me
for the link. I ask that at least one parent/family be present, if possible, for Sunday School calls. THANK YOU to the adults who have joined me so far to help moderate!
Sunday School (grades 5 & under): 4:00-4:30pm | Youth Group (grades 5 & older): 6:30-8:00pm
*For those wishing to pray Compline with the Youth Group Wednesday evenings at 7:45pm, please contact me for the Zoom meeting link. Non-Youth Group guests are encouraged to join the call beginning at 7:40pm. Thank you!*

Hello, All Saints ~
Please find the February financial reports below.
Major financial related activities that occurred in February include the following:
- The parochial report was completed.
- Information gathering for the annual church audit initial documentation request was started.
- The finance team began gathering quotes from telephone and internet providers.
Pledges for February are $34,458, versus the budgeted amount of $18,333.33. YTD Pledges are $21,805 over budget. Thank you for your continued support.
Ministry expenses, at $3,791, are less than the budgeted amount of $4,124 due to incurring less Chorister scholarship payments than planned for in the budget.
Minister expenses at $15,656, are less than the budgeted amount of $16,507 due to the timing of pay periods.
Facility costs came in at $8,845, compared to the budgeted amount of $5,078, due to costs associated with boiler maintenance and higher than average utilities costs from higher gas usage in the winter. The utility and boiler costs are typically seasonal and will even out in future months.
Operation costs came in at $1,928, compared to the budgeted amount of $1,728, causing a slight, unfavorable variance of $201, due to a one-time annual payroll provider fee.
Overall, we had a strong month and ended with a surplus (more incoming cash than outgoing cash for expenses) of +$5,036. The YTD surplus is now $8,746.
Thank you for contributing to a strong financial start to the year!
Peace,
Alicia Bayambang
