As a new member of the Finance Team, I am impressed that our church focuses on missions, church planting, and outreach. It’s about bringing others to Christ. Now we are faced with a tough situation, and I wanted to share with you the facts:
How did we get here?
· Quite simply, our weekly giving has been down all year.
· Nationwide, Church Giving is down, and we are not immune.
· We are 25% below budget
· 25% is bad and will negatively impact our programs – including outreach.
What do we do?
· Many would sadly say, “we have less than two weeks!” But I gladly say, “hey, we have almost two weeks!!”
· Nobody wants to ask for $$, but the one thing we can ask for is prayer. Pray Hard.
· If you can dig deep and do a one-time Gift, then great!!
· If you cannot, PRAY!!! We serve a God of Miracles, and He can deliver!
Thank you in advance for your support.
Your Sister in Christ,
Joni Grounds
