There is good news and not-so-good news in the financial life of Zion. The good news is that our expenses have risen because we have almost returned to our staffing and program levels of the past. It is wonderful to see the many faces visible in all areas of our church. Our April General Fund income of over $83,000 was significantly greater than what received in April of 2021. The not-so-good news is that this amount fell short of our April expenses by about $9400. In addition to staffing and program expenses, we, like you at home, are experiencing increases in utility charges (up 77% over last April) and building work/repairs that need to be done to maintain our facility.
Our Building Fund income for April was also greater than that of a year ago. For the year so far, our income for the Building Fund has almost exactly matched our expenses.
Thanks to all who continue to make a financial commitment to Zion.
