May Month-End Update from the Finance Committee
So far this year, giving has exceeded expenses (receipts= $1,519,148, expenses = $1,325,378). Your faithfulness is encouraging.
The kids at Vacation Bible School gave about $4,400 to a group called Friends of Nazareth which provides scholarships for kids to attend VBS in Nazareth. That’s an encouragement and a good example for the rest of us. Thanks kids!
If you have any questions about the church finances contact any member of the Finance Committee (Ken Abbott, Doug Lawson, Fran Stribling, Regan Stinnett, JoAnn Polk, Robert Ewing or Jerri Rose).
Save the Date: Overseas Presentation
Join us on Monday, July 22 at 6:30pm in room B100 for a presentation and Q&A time with Marc M.! The presentation will be about his overseas experiences.
Clean-Up Daze
Thank you to all who came to fix up, clean up and paint up last week! The need for workers continues. Please contact Jim Smith at 505-821-0024 or jimvickismith@msn.com and let us know when you can be there to help! When we have volunteers available, we will continue to meet to work on Mission Field projects in the early morning, and then later will move indoors (where it is cooler) to paint in many areas of Buildings A, B and C (mostly C). Jim will be handing out assignments and trying to keep everyone hydrated and focused.
In Loving Memory
Please continue to be in prayer for the families of Nancy Garth, Erwin Ness and Mary Anderson.
