Please join Rev. John, our Treasurer Steve Grathwohl, and other Finance and Board members, for an informative discussion about the state of our Finances at the church, and implications that has for our future: both next year and further out, 3-5 years. How much money do we have to spend? What does that mean for our staffing and programs?
Like many religious institutions, our church is different in size and shape now than it was 10 years ago, and it is likely to change again in the future. Please come and understand the trends and what it means for our beloved community.
