My friends,
First, thank you to everyone who has pledged. We appreciate your generosity and commitment to the Church of the Redeemer. We have received a total of $208,000 in pledges. However, our projected need is $287,000. The 2015 expenses are about $60,000 more than last year.
Our expenses have increased because in 2014 we had a fulltime priest for only half a year. The office staff also left last year. So we did not have the full cost of these expenses. This year
- We are paying the salary and benefits for our full time rector this year.
- We paid for the moving expenses.
- We plan on hiring an administrative assistant to replace Tim who left last year.
- We have done some small upgrades to the building including the rector’s office, the nursery and maintenance for our sacred space
At this time our pledges do not meet our expenses. If you have not yet pledged we urge you to do so. If you have already pledged, please consider increasing your pledge.
Grace and Peace,
The Rector and Wardens of the Church of the Redeemer
