If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Garland Hamic, jghamic@gmail.com Our pledges and plate offerings through the end of April are running about $10,000 ahead of budget, but other revenues, particularly from church rentals for weddings, are behind our projections. This total shortfall of $5,300 in YTD revenues, combined with large property expenditures for repairs and replacement of equipment in the month of February account for most of the YTD deficit.
