CONGREGATIONAL MEETING Last Sunday we held a Congregational Meeting to discuss important areas of ministry and our budget challenges for 2019. This was an important meeting, so if you missed it, please contact the office to get a copy of the minutes. We have some significant challenges in 2019 and we all need to be as informed and engaged to tackle what God has placed on our community this year. FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS We are working out our budget for 2019. If you are a member or regular attendee and have not submitted an estimate of giving, then please fill one out next Sunday! This information is ALWAYS kept confidentially within the financial team. We know everyone may encounter unexpected changes to their ability to give. We don't want anyone to feel pressured by this to give more. This is so we can arrive at an accurate estimate of our yearly donations and expenses. Members, please make a fair estimate of the amount you are able to give regularly in 2019. Thank you! COMMUNITY DAY Starting again next month, we will gather after service monthly on the 1st Sunday for our Community Day.  We will still gather for food and fellowship, but with a few changes.  Each Community Day we will also include time for discussing upcoming events, the budget, and etc. Please see the potluck dish sign-up at guest services!
