Thanks to our Treasurer, Daryl Hogbin, and the Finance Team for their hard work with the 2021 Budget.
Notes
The congregational meeting to vote on the 2021 budget will be held on Sunday, November 22 following worship.
The Zoom meeting details will be posted to this page when they are available .
For 2020, we have been able to make up the shortfall in actual giving with federal Payroll Protection Program money and by reducing some of our expenses. Without that funding next year, we are faced with some difficult decisions.
In order for us to reach a balanced budget for 2021, Pastor Kristen has offered to reduce to 75% time as needed. To make this happen, we will routinely have guest preachers, as well as a few “congregation-led” services. We all hope this is a short-term “stop-gap” measure until we return to normal.
