So far 2021 has been a year of opportunity for our church. Our staff has done a wonderful job of providing opportunities to grow our faith and our church in the community. And YOU have done an awesome job embracing these opportunities! As our church grows, so does our need for financial support. Our church’s YTD operating account is slightly negative compared to our budgeted amount of 10,000 positive. Our expenses are under budget, which is good, but our contributions are also under budget. Just as your household has operating expenses that have to be paid, so does your church home. We ended 2020 strong and hope to do the same in 2021. We will be having a Stewardship Campaign this fall and sharing some of the church’s financial plans for the future. Please continue to support your church financially and help keep this positive momentum going for our awesome church.
On behalf of the Finance Committee – Thank You!!! Rhonda Evers
God’s people faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. – 2 Chronicles 31:12

SAGER BROWN DEPOT MISSION TRIP |
|
September 6th-11th
This is the Something for Everyone adult mission trip! Sager Brown is the hub of relief supply operations of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) in Baldwin, Louisiana. Volunteers assemble relief kits in a climate controlled facility to be sent to disaster sites. There is something to do for every person and every skill set. We’ll assemble kits and help with whatever needs to be done to run the facility. There are sewing and community construction projects as well. Volunteers may stay in a dormitory or bring an RV. Most meals are provided by the facility.
The cost is $214 per person, and we have 15 spots reserved. If you’re interested in joining the team, pick up an application at the Connection Center in the Narthex or email Peggy Badlato.
