Finance Report for November 2013 Meeting

Finance Committee report to the November 18th Church Council
Through October, General Fund giving is $259.0k vs. $281.6k in 2013, while expenses are $273.5k vs. $299.9k.  The General Fund balance is -$4.3k vs. - $8.4k last year.  To date we have paid $8.6k on apportionments of $43.2k ytd.
The year-end forecasting software suggests that we may end up 8% below 2012, near $325k and thus unable to substantially reduce our apportionments arrears.
A contingency 2014 budget has been developed for implementation if needed,  which reduces spending by about $30k, should it be necessary once the results of our current Stewardship campaign are known.  We simply cannot continue down the unsustainable path we have been on.
Chris Hipp – Chair, Finance  Committee
