Where Does Our Money Go…
Our money goes to maintain a place of worship and do the work God has led us to do. Where does our money come from? It comes from you, the congregation, with your of-ferings. If you have noticed, our expenses are exceeding our income. We have a savings account with money, not desig-nated for any other purpose, and, we have been taking from that for several months to help meet expenses. After a peri-od of time, the money in that account will be gone!! We are in a crisis situation. What can you do to help keep our
Church thriving? Everyone has to be committed to help our Church!! If you miss a Sunday, please make it up in your offerings the next Sunday and add a few more dollars as you can. This will greatly cut our deficit and help us continue to worship God in the way he intends. Pray each and every one of us can find a way to make a greater commitment!!
