Stewardship Review

General Fund Giving — 2nd Quarter

Our 2018 Operating Budget is based on a projected income of $408,600 from members.  This was comprised of pledges from 64 families of $306,100 and an estimate from non-pledging families of $102,500.  We received pre-pledges of $67,300 in December 2017.  Aided by the pre-pledges, actual giving from pledge families by the end of the second quarter was $174,000 or 114% of our projection for mid-year.  Eight families have met or exceeded their full year pledge.  Income from non-pledging families was $43,100 or 89% of our projection for mid-year.  This includes 14 non-pledging families who have already met or exceeded what they gave in 2017.  Total income was $217,200. 

Our giving as a percent of total year-end projected income is at 50.3%.  This trend was ahead of both 2016 and 2017 for the first quarter, but even with the larger pre-pledge amount it has fallen behind 2017 during the last three months.

Your giving keeps us on solid ground to carry out our ministry plans for the year.  Thank you for your support of Zion’s ministries.

In Christ.
