I look forward to the annual church budget meeting. It is a privilege to sit together and thank God for the resources He has provided through the generous hearts of His people and consider how best to use those resources. I am also very grateful to the hard working and dedicated finance team in the church. This year the challenge is great with income having dropped as the number of giving units in the church has dropped to from 77 to 66. That means only 66 people give regularly at the moment to the life and ministry and of the church. There are all kinds of reasons for this. The good news is that we are still able to maintain most ministries and give away at least 10% of the churches income to bless others. As the financial year draws to and end it is probably a good time for us all to consider again our giving and to pray about our money...
Why was it a record breaking budget meeting? It usually finishes late but last night finished at 1.50am!
