Thank you to all those who give so generously to the church! The Synod Survey we discovered that the majority of Parishioners know that giving to the church is important to you, but the majority of those same people believe that the Cathedral has sufficient financial resources. The end of our fiscal year is coming to an end and we fell short $160,000 of Sunday collection of our budget. The budget is based on what we thought we would receive this year based on previous years. There were some extraordinary circumstances on why we fell short.
1. Covid
2. Change of Leadership
3. We closed the Cathedral church for renovations.
We were optimistic, and we missed the mark. Thanks be to God, we have been so blessed to receive some extraordinary gifts that were not budgeted that have helped us tremendously!
Tithing is an essential part of our spiritual health. One hundred percent of our finances belong to God, and he is so generous that he lets us keep 90% of it. Tithing is a way to help us contribute to the needs of the church. Thank you for all of you who donate your time, talent, and treasure.
