First Quarter Update
from Finance

  • As of March 31, year to date contributions pledged and unpledged are $101,300 and at 8% over planned giving! We remain grateful for all who are supporting Centenary's missions by sharing God's gifts.
  • Expenses, including apportionments, are over budget by $2,200.
  • We have paid Conference Priority One and District apportionments totaling $20,300. As done during the pandemic years, we have chosen not to pay Conference Priority 2 apportionments, which are deemed discretionary. Council will monitor results to determine whether all apportionments can be covered, after salaries and necessary expenses.
  • At the end of first quarter, paid expenses exceeded revenues (all gifts, other revenues and endowment earnings draws) by $14,200. We are prayerful Centenary's generous spirit will continue to meet needs. 

Reminder Notes
Our annual giving does not cover the salary for the Coordinator of Older Adult Ministries and funding our mission work. These items are covered by gifts and bequests.
