Important Financial Meeting. Last Sunday we held an important meeting after our worship service, where Rev. John and Board members shared information about our financial position and upcoming budget. Thank you to the 35+ folks who stayed with us and asked great questions, and especially to Steve Grathwohl, Beth Cliff and Mark Corcoran for walking us through the budget and endowment implications.

If you'd like a copy of the presentation, or to view the video (a rough cut off an iPhone, but still easily audible) please contact Beth Cliff and she can forward you a copy.
