Contributions to the General Fund continue to exceed our giving of last year. In February those amounted to about $51,000 which is 11.5% more than last February. Expenses for the month exceeded our income by about $9,800. These are only 1.4% greater than those of a year ago. For the year so far our giving to the General Fund is around $129,400. Our expenses have been about $128,400. While the Building Fund income for February was slightly down from a

The January financial reports are another reminder that Zion is moving forward with confidence.  Our January offerings to the General Fund were a little over $75,000 which is about 10.5% above those given in January 2022.  Our General Fund expenses were about $5,500 greater than last January, most of which is attributable to an increase in personnel – another sign of our moving forward.  Still, our income exceeded our expenses for the month.  Our next financial challenge will come when

Zion finished 2022 with some excellent financial news. Our average weekly General Fund income for the year was about $15,500 which is about $400 per week greater than we had in 2021. This represents an overall increase of 2.66%. Our December giving to the General Fund was up over 14% compared to the same month in 2021. Expenses for the month were about $4,500 less than a year ago. However, for the entire year, our expenses ended up 8.8% higher

October was again a good month for Zion in terms of our finances.  Our General Fund total income for the month was about $71,500 which is a little over 10% higher than that received in October of 2021.  And for the first time since last January, our General Fund income exceeded our monthly expenses.  For the year to date, however, we are still slightly behind last year’s income.  Our average weekly this year is about $13,800 whereas last year at

September was an encouraging financial month for Zion.  Our General Fund income/offering for the month was 6.6% higher than what we received in September 2021.  Our weekly average income for the month was just a few dollars short of $15,000.   For the year to date, we are still lagging behind last year’s income by 3.2%.  But with more months like September, we will be closing that gap. Our expenses for September are considerably greater than they were a year ago. 

The Finance Committee would like to share the following information. For the month of August, total General Fund income was almost $50,500. Last year we received August income of a little over $66,500.  [Edit to add: August 2021 had 5 Sundays and August 2022 had 4.] For the year to date, we have had income of about $477,500 which is about $21,000 less than what was received up to this point in 2021. Our expenses for August 2022 were almost $57,000

Zion’s offerings in July 2022 were $59,900, about $9,500 more than July 2021. July 2022 was a five Sunday month as compared to July 2021 which was a four Sunday month. August 2021 was a five-Sunday month so the offering year-to-date comparison will even out in next month’s report. For July 2022 year to date, Zion’s total income is about $427,000 which is about $5,000 less than July 2021 year-to-date total income. As Zion is reestablishing programs and staff, and

It is an exciting time at Zion as we continue to rebuild and recover from our COVID days. For the month of June, our offerings were $49,600 which is about $1,000 more than we gave last June. For the year to date, our total income is around $366,000 which is about $5,000 less than we had at this point last year. Because we are reestablishing programs and staff, and with utility costs rising, our expenses for the month of June

The finance report for the month of May looks much like those of recent months.  Our income last month was a little over $58,500 which is about 5.5% more than was given in May of 2021.  Income for the year to date still lags behind last year’s by about $16,000 or 4.8%. With the resumption of our programming, expenses for the month were about $10,000 more than we incurred in May of 2021.  For the year to date our expenses

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
