We are encouraged to see that our year-to-date giving has increased by 2% year over year—praise God! However, due to staff transitions and rising ministry costs, our income is currently $72,000 behind our expenses.
As we near year-end, would you prayerfully ask God how He might lead you to help us close this gap? I’ve been so inspired by how the church has responded when needs have arisen, showing the love of Christ in action. I trust that this will again be the case in this situation.
Maybe you have been attending Faith for some time but haven’t yet engaged in giving to the local church. If so, we would invite you to prayerfully begin giving financially to the church. Not only will it help us engage mission, but we believe there is joy to be had in being generous! There are a number of ways you can give. On Sunday mornings, you can give by placing your gift in the offering box as you leave the service. As well there are online options for giving through the Church Center app or on our website (faithmanhattan.org/give).
Faith uses a fiscal year that runs from April 1 - March 31. Thank you for your generosity!
