As we begin a new fiscal year I would like to thank you for stepping forward at the end of June to help out our financial year. While we did not reach our goal, we came close. On the positive side we did not spend as much as we had anticipated in the budget, we spent more than anticipated because of some major expenses we had not anticipated. Later this summer we will spend just over $100,000 on fixing the driveways. We could have named a couple of the potholes lakes, but they fell just short of what the requirements are for the state to identify them. We know we have other major needs coming up. The church is just like your home in that we need to stay on top of the things that need to be fixed and replace the parts that no longer work. Your consistent financial assistance will ensure our church home remains a worthy place to gather as we honor the goodness of God. Fr. Mike.
