President’s Letter

Renewal — this is the feeling we want to have at this time of the year. The renewal of spring, the renewal of the Easter promise, and the renewal of our church building. 

It seems that two of these are taking longer than we like. While we can do nothing about the slow start to spring this year, your church council is carefully monitoring the building renovation. As of this writing, the process is moving along with a few unexpected “bumps” on the way. All additional work is being done with an eye to keeping within the costs outlined for the project. Any extra outlay of expenses will be discussed, if needed, by the Council.

You can do your part for the renewal of our environment on Saturday, May 7, as we look to spruce up the inside and outside of our property. Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Susan Otto, Council President

Financial Report

We closed out the first quarter of 2022 in a solid financial position. Our total income has exceeded what we had projected by 6.8%. We had a slight uptick in expenses in March, but those were mostly attributable to bills for snow removal — something I hope we won’t have to worry about for the next eight to nine months. Our resulting year-to-date expenses are 1.2% higher than we’d budgeted, and the net result is a year-to-date budget surplus of nearly $11,000. 

Sincerely,

Zach Wittchow, Treasurer
