How did we do in the month of January?
We fell short by a total of $9,199.51 for the month of January.
How much does it “cost” to run the church?
For a 5 Sunday month, it takes a minimum of $7,206 a week. This is the bare bones fixed costs of keeping the doors open. It allows us to pay the bills, but leaves little for actual ministry. A more ideal level of funding is $7,600 a week. This allows us to pay the bills and have money for ministry.
How much was the actual giving for the month?
The giving for January averaged $5,365.90 a week, this results in a $1,839.90 a week shortfall from our minimim budget of $7,206. This added up to a monthly shortfall of $9,199.51.
How will this shortfall effect the church?
Thankfully, we had extra funds from 2010 year-end giving that will cover this shortfall, but those extra funds will be completely used to cover this January shortfall. This means that moving forward into February we will not have extra funds to draw upon if we fall short.
Is there anything else I need to know?
If you’re someone who regularly gives to God at New Life: Thanks! Your giving makes a difference.
If you’re someone who is not yet giving: Make a decision to get involved. Take the first step toward the biblical practice of giving.. You can find out more about giving here.
And for everyone: Please take time this week to pray for the finances of both our church family, and the individual families that make up New Life.
