Finance Update
We are now more than halfway through the 2020-21 fiscal year, and I’m pleased to report that things are going well. Although our income and expenses are always somewhat different from what we had planned, we are “in the black” overall. If you’d like more detail, we’re happy to share! Email Ann Rhody at finance@uuroc.org. Thank you to all who help to keep the church financially healthy!
