Budget Update:  This past winter has put us a bit behind the 8 ball budget-wise, as the allocation of $7000 has been crushed by more than $11,000 in snow removal invoices from our contractor.  To fund this shortfall, we are asking our members to consider an additional contribution to the general fund.  A member of the church has offered to match this additional giving up to $2000 that should cover the expense. Please use an envelope and mark it SNOW REMOVAL to contribute to the cause.  Each dollar you contribute will effectively be doubled!  As always, many thanks for your generosity.

In response to a question at last year’s annual meeting…  If you want to make scheduled contributions to the church without using Simply Giving, that charges 2.75% on the amount of each donation, simply do online banking with your  financial institution.  You can select a frequency of weekly, monthly, or annual, along with the date of the transaction.  I’ve done this with my bank for more than 10 years without any fees.  It is quite easy & you can to make changes any time desired.  Last year Grace was charged more than $700 for donations through Simply Giving. Feel free to reach out to me at Council President, Kurt Meyers with questions or concern.
