STEWARDSHIP UPDATE
Right now, we’re covering 53% of our monthly expenses through your generous stewardship, and we’re so grateful for every contribution! But we’re not stopping there—our goal is 100%. When we hit that milestone, we will be able to use extra funds from events like our Greek Festival and Golf Tournament to go towards even more outreach opportunities, helping us make an even bigger impact in our community!
