Do you create a family budget and wonder how to make it balance?
Do you often think, if only we did not have to make the house payment or the car payment how much easier our family budget would be, and how much more money we would have to work with?
Our church is somewhat the same; we have a budget based on our giving. Each year we must balance our budget to pay salaries, maintenance, utilities, insurance, custodial, our mortgage, and also fulfill our mission efforts.
The monthly mortgage payment is several thousand dollars. Wouldn’t it be nice if we did not have to make that payment?
We could use the money to expand living out God’s Word through things such as mission work, youth activities, as well as so much more! Donations to the Freedom Campaign are applied directly to the principal balance of the loan. These direct donations save us large amounts of interest over the life of the loan. Please prayerfully consider helping our church family pay the mortgage. Pledge cards are in the office and can be filled out and returned in the Sunday offering plate or the office.
There are many other ways to give such as:
Do you need a tax break?
You could consider a donation this year to reduce your taxes for the tax year you donate.
When utilizing these programs, the church not only consistently receives your monthly donation, but also benefits from the generosity of these companies.
The matching portion of money received have paid for the new roof for the Sanctuary in 2011 and the replacement of recalled fire sprinklers in the Sanctuary in 2013!
If you have any questions or would like a complete list of companies who offer a matching program, please call or email Danielle Hayes 925-447-2078, danielle@fpcl.us
