Congregational Givings as of May 31, 2010
Our annual budget for 2010 for congregational givings is $109,800. To reach this total with givings coming in evenly over the year we would need to have received $45,750 by the end of May. In fact the actual givings at the end of May totalled $47,277. Thank you for your generosity. If this trend continues it will be very helpful to Augustine’s finances.
