Our 2015 financial year ended with a substantial operating deficit, although slightly less than the operating deficit of 2014.  Our congregation had 8 less donors in 2015 than in 2014 however we saw an increase in offerings over 2014.  At the recommendation of the Board of Managers, and approved by Session, the 2015 deficit will be eliminated through a transfer from the undesignated Funds of our Church.  Following this transfer only a small amount will remain as undesignated funds.  Plan to join us on February 21 for the Annual Meeting so that together we can plan for this current year and beyond.

We will meet in the Hall following worship.  Lunch will be provided. If you require childcare please contact us. The annual reports of committees and groups, together with the 2016 proposed budget will be presented at this meeting.  Please plan to attend and witness your church at work.


 

Cancellation Policy – Should it be necessary to cancel or postpone worship service the decision will be made no later than 9:30am. Notification of cancellations will be posted on the Welcome page of the Church website, as well as on the CBC New Brunswick Storm Centre page and recorded on our telephone answering machine.

For the cost of a donation you can sponsor the weekly bulletin. Memorials, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Congratulations, etc. will be placed on the front cover the Sunday of your choice.
