With substantial input from ministry coordinators and ministry directors, on December 4, 2025, the Elders adopted a congregational budget for 2026. Under it, to meet projected congregational expenses, in each 30-day period of next year, our giving needs to average $20,519. This sum is substantially less than budgeted giving for 2025. Two primary factors drive this change. First, during 2025 the congregation repaid in full its meetinghouse renewal loan, payments on which comprised approximately 29 % of the congregation’s 2025 budget. Second, because gifts to the congregation declined during 2025, the 2026 budget reduces spending in some categories unrelated to this loan. Copies of the 2026 budget detailing these changes are available on tables in the central lobby and at the rear of the auditorium. The Elders express their gratitude for existing givers’ liberality and encourage all congregants to give generously during the coming year.
