Before, during and after our congregational meeting, several folks were very interested in our financial condition. After confirming with the session, we have decided to include a high level summary of our general fund actual income and expenses. When the actual income is even or higher than our actual expenses, we are in good shape. This chart shows year to date (YTD) through February (which includes January and February income and expenses). We are nearly even, at $142,626.06 in income and $142,575.74 in expenses. Note that January has a higher level of general fund income than most other months.

We exist as a congregation to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known:

• To proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ so all may come to know and love Him;
• To nurture His people in joyful faith, fellowship, and commitment; and
• To demonstrate His way of love in service to the world.

We use the Connector to share news of the coming week and beyond, the activities that involve a wide range of ages and interests at FPC.
