Elder Board Moderator Kari McGrath
This upcoming Sunday, February 4, is an important day on our church calendar. It is our annual congregational budget meeting. Following our Sunday service, we will have the opportunity to hear from members of our board, staff and finance committees about the vision, programming, and budget for the year ahead. There has been a lot of energy, commitment and enthusiasm for this work over the past couple of months and we are excited to share more with each of you.
This is an invitation to join us for our service and our meeting on Sunday. We get this chance to spend time together as a congregation…looking back on all that God did in our community in 2023, and looking forward to our plans and budget for 2024.
Like your checkbooks or credit card statements reflect the priorities and values of your household, the church budget represents what is important to LaSalle Street Church. By sharing the budget with you, we’re not simply giving you a spreadsheet to try and decipher, we’re showing you where we are committed to going and growing! How we support our staff, our partners, our outreach and the care of our building is reflected in the way the budget has been constructed. We’re grateful to those of you who attended the budget Q&A earlier this month, and look forward to the opportunity for LaSalle members to vote on this budget on Sunday.
See you this weekend! (And be sure to check out the instructions for absentee and online voting in tonight’s e-news if you can’t be with us in person.)
Grace and peace,
Kari
