STEWARDSHIP

Prayer: “God, you’ve put the resources of life, of labor, of money and of all assets in our hands to use for the good and the building up of your church and to use for the good of your people.  We ask that our decisions and deliberations may be holy, that our stewardship may be to your praise and honor and glory.  In the name of Jesus Christ, who loved us first, we pray.”

Your vestry’s goal for the 2009 budget was to balance the budget without sacrificing positions, programs or projects in a year when the economy is plagued with uncertainty and financial hardship for many.

We almost met that goal. The budget does include funds for the assistant rector for the full year (vs. a half year in 2008), an increase in our diocesan pledge, and funding for all programs and projects. However, to accomplish these objectives required a budget deficit of almost $47,000.

For the first quarter our revenues exceeded expenses by $5,694. We will continue to carefully monitor expenses and take whatever actions are required to ensure that we complete the year within our budget. With your continued support thorough additional and increased pledges as well as other financial contributions, we hope to finish the year with our revenues equal to or exceeding expenses.
