Please verify for accuracy!
Please keep in mind that these are 'Stewardship' statements and include only your stated stewardship offerings. You will receive a detailed statement of all donations at year-end.
Note that we are now more that 75% of the way through our fiscal year... therefore, to be in 'Good Financial Standing,' you must have completed at least 75% of your 2016 committment.
We also have a number of families that still not made a commitment for 2016. We humbly ask, please offer your committment for the financial health of our church family.
Any statements not picked up this week will be mailed out.
