April 2011 Giving Update

How did we do in the month of April?

We were $1,583.31 short of making our monthly budget.

How much does it “cost” to run the church?

In a 4 Sunday month, it takes a minimum of $30,803. This is the bare bones fixed costs of keeping the doors open. It allows us to pay the bills and fund a minimal amount to our ministries.

How much was the actual giving for the month?


The giving for April was $29,219.69
.

How do we cover the shortage?


The month of March had a large surplus of giving. We are using this surplus to make up the difference.


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.

This Sunday- True Love


Join us for week two of our series, True Love. This week we will look at "How to Not Start Stupid Arguments"
