MONTHLY FINANCE UPDATE
In the month of May, the congregation donated $7,555 for the general fund to run the church. Our expenses during May were $5,958. Our Year-to-Date balance (income-expenses) is $135.84. The Church Council has decided to forego paying our District Mission Shares ($1280/month), contributions to pastor moving expenses ($125/month), and contributions to our Trustees Reserve Fund ($500/month) for the time being. We will pay our District Mission Shares and distribute money to our Trustees Reserve Fund as soon as we can. We expect our expenses to increase as we move from a quarter-time pastor to a half-time pastor this summer. The Church Council and the Finance Committee continue to watch our expenditures carefully and encourage you to prayerfully consider your donations of time, talent, and treasure to our church.
Respectfully,
Church Finance Committee

NATIVE AMERICAN MINISTRIES SUNDAY – July 10
On Native American Ministries Sunday, we partner with other UMC congregations in a special offering to support United Methodist ministries of Native Americans.
One of our denomination’s six special offerings, Native American Ministries Sunday equips and empowers Native American pastors, congregations and seminary students to do what only they can do: authentically worship and serve Jesus. Half of our gifts stay with local ministries in this annual conference and half support the work of Native American United Methodist ministries nationally.

NEW – CREATION CARE WEBPAGE
The NEAC has a new creation care webpage with important information on advocacy and resources by state. It includes state level energy efficiency programs and nonprofits that offer advice, rebates, free services, and grants to individuals or houses of worship. Going green helps us all save money, be healthier, lower emissions and pollution, lower costs over the long term and fight climate change. Our faith calls us to action. Below is a simple poster you can add to your church bulletin board or insert in a worship bulletin or newsletter.
