News from the Endowment Committee

Our final Endowment Sunday for 2018 will be All Saints Sunday, November 4^th.  

Thank you to everyone who has donated to Zion’s Endowment Fund throughout the year.

The year started with $20,317 from the Endowment Fund earnings available for new ministry opportunities in 2018.  $5,000 was committed to support Youth and Family Ministry programs from the approved 2018 budget.  Council has since voted to commit to the following ministries with the remaining funds:

· $3,000 — Flemington Area Food Pantry

· $5,000 — New Web Site Development and Management

· $5,000 — Crossroads Camp and Retreat Center — cabin refurbishment

So, there is a balance of approximately $2,317 from Endowment Funds available in 2018 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 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!
