Financially, our past year was one of highs and lows. We completed the capital campaign, paid off the HVAC note and had enough money to begin Phase 4 of the HVAC Master Plan. As I write this, the contractor is working in the Garden Room installing new HVAC equipment.
Your staff was ever diligent this past year in their efforts to stay within the budget that the Finance Committee and Church Council approved. With a few exceptions, every line item in the budget was on target. Those that went over budget were due to forces that could not be predicted or controlled.
Pledges and contributions lagged last year and as we start the New Year, many who pledged last year have not renewed their pledges this year.
If you have not returned a pledge card, please stop by the office and pick one up, take it home and prayerfully consider what your commitment to the ministries and missions of St. John’s will be this year. As a community of faith, our connection and our commitment to St. John’s United Methodist Church is reflected in how we, as a congregation, step forward and commit not only our lives and our times, but also our gifts, to carrying out the missions, ministries and services that St. John’s brings to our community. Fill out a pledge card today, please.
And finally, as we consider our connections of faith, I must report that we only paid 90% of our allotted apportionments this year. Our apportionments totaled $82,200.00 last year and our final total paid to the conference was $73,275.67. Our apportionments for 2006 are $84,476.00. Please prayerfully consider making an extra pledge toward our apportionments. If you wish to make such a pledge, see me in the office any time.
Blessing and Peace on you all for your support, your generosity and, most especially, for your caring love.
