Our final Endowment Sunday for 2017 will be All Saints
Sunday, November 5th.
The year started
with $19,554 from the Endowment Fund earnings available for new ministry
opportunities. Council has since voted
to commit to the following ministries with those funds:
- · $2,061 – (Our commitment is $3,813 and that has been sent to the Synod. The $2,061 is minus $1,752 that was carried over from last year leaving the $2,061 balance) to boost our commitment to the Synod by 1% enabling our Synod commitment to go from 10% to 11%.
- · $3,000 – Heart for Africa
- · $4,000 – Youth Scholarships for Synod events
- · $3,000 – Hunterdon Youth Services
So, there is a
balance of $7,493 from Endowment Funds available in 2017 for additional
ministry opportunities.
Always keep in
mind that the Endowment Fund only grows with contributions from members and
friends of Zion. Those who share the vision of not only a living memorial for
loved ones, but also recognize that upon maturity, the fund will provide
significant monetary grants for many new mission oriented programs–forever.
Envelopes marked
“Endowment Fund” are always in the back of the church each Sunday for anyone
wishing to contribute. Please contact any
member of the Endowment Committee (Geof Close, Ted Jermansen and Rick
Schroeder) if you have any questions!
