FINANICAL UPDATE AS OF JUNE 30TH
The Church's financial position as of June 30th shows stewardship at $230,000 compared to $193,000 at the same time last year, and total income of $270,200 compared to $231,000 last year. Total expenses for the first 6 months are $230,600 compared to the budgeted amount of $233,200. Net church operating income is $39,600 compared to last year's operating loss of <$6,000>. The increase in net operating income is due primarily to the generosity of our Parish family resulting in an increase in stewardship funds received.
