STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY
At our December meeting, we learned that congregational giving was at 100% of budget for the first eleven months. Hooray! Much of the meeting was devoted to a discussion of potential new locations for the church office. The Clinic, which has generously given us use of the space at 9411 Euclid Avenue since the fire, has set February 1 as the end of the rent-free period, and set a rental figure that is beyond our means. There are several possibilities for relocation which are being explored and will be sent to the next meeting of COM in early January. --John Baker, secretary SPECIAL OFFERINGS The Stewardship Ministry recognizes that EACC members are frequently asked to contribute to special offerings through the church, and have a history of generosity in helping with special needs. They ask, however, that we remember that EACC’s ministry depends on each member fulfilling his or her pledge to the church. These special offerings – such as the Homeless Stand Down, camperships, One Great Hour of Sharing etc. – are not included in the church budget, so donations to them should be in addition to fulfilling pledges to EACC.
