Did you know that Orange Friends Church is debt-free? This is a wonderful blessing. But, we still have electricity, heat, water,
salaries, insurance, and ministry expenses.
And we must maintain our building and grounds – all as good stewards of
what we are using for God to carry out
Orange Friends’ Vision: “that all would
know love, wholeness, and hope through Jesus Christ. “
Our trustees identify areas in our building and grounds that
need attention and get estimates for the related work, and then get the work
done. Current needs are major repair to
our parking lot, carpet replacement, furnace replacement and repairs, and
decorating/improvements in the Children’s area. Estimates for this work totals about
$75,000. The trustees have done a great
job of using our financial resources wisely.
But, our financial reserve is getting low, and we have not been
replenishing it.
So, the Stewardship Team has created and introduced the
Vision Fund that will exist to fund our church facilities needs, so that Orange
Friends can carry out our Vision. We
are asking you to consider giving above your regular tithe so that we can fund
these current needs. We’ve already heard
from people who are finding ways to sacrifice in order to have something to
give … did you hear about the two couples who will not be heating OR cooling
their homes in June? Look for an update
of what has been given in the next few weeks.
Any of us on the Stewardship Team welcome your questions.
