Honey & Vinegar (aka financial news)
Thank you for all you give here at St. Andrew’s! We are happy to report that in September we almost recovered from the summer financial dip, but we have further to go. Our year-to-date deficit is $23,606, (higher than budgeted) but we are confident that we will reduce it by working together over the remaining months of 2018. Last year we eliminated a $13000 September YTD deficit by December 31. Thanks for your generosity! (Additional offering envelopes are available in the Narthex or use the button on our website)
