A total of 77 giving units (husbands and wives or single persons) completed Estimate of Giving Cards this year. A total of 43 of these giving units increased their financial commitment above their last year’s amount. A total of 70 giving units filled out Estimate of Giving Cards, and committed a total of $122,200 for 2009. Based on last year’s giving records, we can expect to receive $25,000 during the coming year from people who have consistent giving patterns during the past twelve months and were not present on Consecration Sunday or did not submit an Estimate of Giving Card.

Based on the average total of loose offerings during the past three years, we can expect to receive $2,300 during the coming year from that source. Church income from non-donor sources such as interest, rentals, and fees $2,160. This gives us a grand total of $151,160 anticipated income for the next twelve months. The total income for our general operating budget during the last twelve months was $162,000.  2008 pledges totaled $125,120.
