SUMMERTIME GIVING
Dear members and friends, summer is officially here and we hope that we are all able to get out and enjoy all that Wisconsin has to offer.
At church, summer means that the children get a break from regular Sunday school and confirmation study. As a result, our attendance is often a little lower – especially on holidays or around special family time gatherings.
Please keep in mind that although we don’t have a full raft of programming during the summer, our Christian education program is largely volunteer staffed. That means that the same salaries and expenses that we support during the program year still need our support at this time.
So far this year our giving has been down slightly, although we’ve had some wonderful gifts around Easter. We are behind in our monthly contributions to the Wisconsin Conference, and will need to catch up on our payments over the coming months.
The mission and ministries of the church are important, so please prayerfully consider sustaining, or even increasing your regular weekly giving over the summer months and through the remainder of the year.
Finance committee will be meeting in the coming weeks, and we may be including some special giving weeks during the month of July. Please look for updates in the weekly bulletins.
Thank you!
Mary Mullen
