Financial appeal update
Thanks to God for those who have given special one-off gifts towards our deficit and for those who have pledged to increase regular giving. We have been able to reduce the deficit from $15,807 down to $8,607. We’ve also had pledges to raise the giving by an additional $105 per week. As this month comes to a close, are you able to help us close the gap on our deficit and pledge to raise our giving higher to meet our ministry needs? If so, please let our Wardens know by filling in a pledge slip.
