As of March 31, 2007 we have 201 pledges totaling $393, 451
Our communities and staff submitted requests to the Treasurer, who prepared a proposed 2007 budget for Vestry consideration. A final budget was approved at the January meeting. The budget is anticipated to provide the following:
Funding for a third priest for a full year
Continued funding for two office staff positions
Increased funding for health insurance and utilities of approximately $12,500 due to continued cost increases in those areas
Anticipated annual expenses for maintenance and repair
Modest salary increases for existing staff
Our Diocesan contribution, which amounts to just over 10% of the budget
Funding of ministry community budgets at essentially 2006 levels
Pledge campaign activities:
Letters and pledge cards were mailed in October 2006 (please let us know if you did not get one)
April 21, 2007 will be the Stewardship feast, to which all parishioners are invited and at which time we celebrate the commitment we have all made to "feed our lambs and tend our sheep."
