The graph above compares the end of year 2025 figures for the Budget, Incomes, and Expenses. The Incomes, which include offerings and facility use rentals ($212,360) exceeded the Expenses ($176,945) by about $35,000 due
primarily to an increase in facility use income (double what was budgeted), less expenses for pastor reimbursables, not hiring a maintenance worker, and reduction in natural gas due to outage in the sanctuary. From these “short-
time savings”, $30,000 were transferred to the Reserve Fund in accordance with our Policy & Procedure 2018-1 and in anticipation of funding the repaired/replaced furnace. We appreciate everyone’s financial support as we enter year 2026 and look forward to growing in stewardship and outreach.
