The budget presented in these pages has been planned with spiritual and practical considerations. We have planned to reduce our expenditures for the second consecutive year based upon our understanding of the local economy and the financial stewardship of our members. However, since the development of this budget the Houston area has been severely impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The repercussions to our budget are not known at the time of this mailing. Please know that your staff and committees will be responsible in making financial and ministry decisions. We will adjust our expenditures according to the contributions of the church and will minister with the donations we receive. This is a time of stress and concern in the Houston area. We are praying for the blessings of God to be powerfully present in our membership and community. Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel through Tallowood Baptist Church.
