A couple of Sundays ago we had our annual Family Meeting. We have tried to communicate a follow up about this time, and wanted to include it one more time for you.
We did a time of ministry overview as well as a report on the year financially for our church and school. We placed
all of those reports online for you. Thanks to the helpful presentation by elder Mike McGinnis we could see clearly the Lord's provision for our church family.
In the end, the
Budget Proposal for our coming fiscal year (July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) was UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED! We are so glad for a unity of heart, mind and spirit!
In response to the donations of some in our congregation, we also outlined a plan for
Facility Renovations.This is not a building campaign, but an outline of 6 major renovation areas which are a priority for ministry impact. Each of these projects will not begin until they are fully funded by over-and -above donations/gifts-in-kind.
In addition, it was noted by several in our community that we need to continue to pay down our loan which we used for the exterior renovations years ago. We certainly enjoy the patio and exterior portions of our facility. We don't want to lose sight of caring for this responsibility. We have each year paid ahead on that debt, so we are making progress!
If you would like to make a contribution, you may do so online using the
DONATE link with a debit/credit card or you can send donations to "Los Altos Grace Brethren Church" 6565 E. Stearns St, Long Beach, CA 90808.
