Stewardship Review

Third Quarter General Fund-2014
Our Operating Budget is based on a projected income of $479,000. This is comprised of pledges from 76 families of $339,000 and an estimate from non pledging families of $140,000. For the 76 pledging families, their giving was:
21 gave over the pledged amount by $19,895
16 met their pledge
39 were below the pledged amount by $32,698
After 9 months the expected amount from pledges is $254,700. The amount received was $241,900 or 95%.

The 2014 income projection included an estimate of giving from non-pledging families of about $97,200. By the end of September, we actually received $83,200 from 128 giving units or 86%. Our historic trend is to have 69% of our total year income at the end of third quarter (not 75%). The total member giving was 98% of this trending estimate.
