Church Family Budget
August Update
With school back in session, I’ve noticed how quickly life fills up again—between classes, practices, work, and the day-to-day demands, our schedules can feel packed. In the middle of it all, I’ve found myself reflecting on Proverbs 3:9–10, which reminds us to honor the Lord with our first fruits. It’s a good reminder for me that even when life feels crowded, giving back to God first helps keep my priorities centered on Him.
So far this month, our giving stands at $36,283 toward a budgeted $63,738 (57%). With this Sabbath and online giving through the end of the month remaining. I encourage us all to stay faithful and finish the month strong together.
Sermon Schedule:
August 30 - Benji Ferguson
