SABBATICAL PREACHING - Worship Committee is planning for

Is there a guest speaker you would like to hear? Would you be willing to preach? Share your suggestions with any member of
the Worship Committee; Jolene
Boshart, Kathy Boshart, Ben Breckbill, Heidi Hochstetler, or David Wiebe.
FINANCIAL REPORT: At the January 14 congregational meeting,
our treasurer, Tim Balzer, reported that offerings exceeded the budget again
in 2008. We are thankful for
everyone's commitment.
We adopted a budget of $111,613, about $9,000 above 2008's
figure. The weekly offering needed
will increase from $1,972 to $2,146.
Our monthly mortgage payments are $1,100. We agreed to divide this between budgeted
and designated giving. $6,000 of the
increase in the 2009 budget ($500 per month) is for payments on the
mortgage. An additional $7,200 in
designated giving ($600 per month) is needed to stay current. Quarterly offerings will be received for
this purpose but gifts designated "Building" may be made at any time.
Copies of the complete financial report and budget are
available below the mailboxes.
