The church also has two endowment funds, both losing money in the past month.

The Hazel Crosby Fund, interest and dividends and growth only available for programs at the end of January stood at $834,580.  It ended March at $696,646.

The Benevolent Endowment Fund, interest and dividends and growth only available for mission giving at the end of January stood at $119,633.  It ended March at $99,861.

We thank everyone for their loyalty and generosity to the church and for continuing to send and drop by offerings during this time we cannot be meeting in person.

The staff of the church and the leadership is committed to keeping our church together and keeping it strong during this time, continuing no matter what to serve people in our community and around the world.
