If you tried to call me over the weekend, and I didn't answer, please don't take it personally. I finally gave up on the phone late Friday afternoon.
Let me back up. Best I can piece together, a guy named Eric Wilson Friday morning filled out a form with an online health insurance...

Security Team needs your help!
|
We have one more door left to replace and we will be in a position to completely secure the Main Building and Education Building on Sunday mornings. That will create opportunities for volunteers to monitor exterior doors during worship services and Sunday school. Would you be willing to man a door one or two Sundays a month? It's a great way to serve your church help us all feel safer. For more information or to volunteer, visit the Connection Center on Sunday.

By now you have seen, read and heard about our projected financial shortfall for this year. We have a challenge...we need additional funds to fulfill all of our obligations for 2020. The year has started well, but by Summer and Fall we will be woefully short on funds to support our vital mission and ministries as well as staff unless we have a lift and a course correction. The Finance Committee and the Staff have carefully gone over the entire budget and made cutbacks in almost every area.
Please look carefully at the following information.
Projected Budget for 2020 $1,000,000
Currently in we have pledged commitments $638,000
Leaving us short $362,000
Anticipated giving through plate offerings
and special annual events $243,000
That leaves us short $119,000
We hope you will join the whole church family with our plan in increase what we had planned to give in 2020 by 10%. Response cards will be made available in the narthex this Sunday. Together we can do this!!!
Your Project Lift Team
