Pledge receipts for the end of June show a healthy 54% of annual pledge budget has been received. June’s pledge receipt is $70,078, for a total year-to-date of $348,881 (as of June 30, 2026). Our annual pledge budget is $650,000. Pledge statements will soon be mailed out; a good reminder to review where you are in your pledging.
Other income in June includes:
- Unpledged $1,990
- Basket $ 820
- Building Use $2,402
This brings the total income to $404,377 or 49% of budget as of the end of the second quarter. These are healthy numbers. Al Houck has a full accounting of all missed/late payments related to the Preschool pension and is now working with the UCC Pension Board to assess the cost of making everyone whole. A future Shalom will report the cost to the church as well as Al Houck’s fee.
Since the inception of the Finance Committee, budget review and planning is essentially year round. Committee chairs have been asked to think boldly about future program development and to submit proposals and costs to the Finance Committee as budget discussions continue.
