The first three months of 2018 are in the record book, and it’s time for a financial update.
Time for a Change - A big 1st quarter change is the reduction of our church facility. At the end of February, we let go of almost 1000 square feet of space. We want to thank everyone who helped with this move as your efforts were a huge help! This change will result in savings for our church as we go forward.
Outreach Giving – Thanks to everyone who made a special gift for our Spring outreach. God used your giving to bring new people to church! With your help, we did outreach for our “Building Better Relationships" series and for Easter Sunday.
Giving Report – We have many generous givers at New Life, but our church still faces a shortfall. We have been busy reducing costs and watching expenses, yet for the first three months of 2018 our weekly giving fell short of our base budget by a total of $2808. This averages out to a shortfall of $216 a week. On a positive note, keep in mind that our rent reduction didn’t go into effect until March. Shortfalls are never good, but with God’s help we can close this gap!
Thanks to all who give to God at New Life. Your giving helps us carry out our mission of sharing Christ. Let’s pray that God provides for our church as we continue to share His word.
