COMMUNITY NEWS

Update from the Finance Committee

As we have closed out 2025, we, as your Finance Committee, want to acknowledge the struggles and celebrate the good things that have happened this year. Thank you to all who have given their financial support to the mission of the church.

We ended up with a shortfall of almost $45,000 in revenue to cover our expenses.

We have had to draw on our reserve funds to cover the shortfall, but we look forward to 2026 with optimism that we will be able to more closely match our expenses with our revenues.

Your Finance Committee,

Geri Dyck, Wilma Pries, G. Roger Friesen
