Yearly expenses of 2024 were discussed and compared with 2024's year-to-date giving. Members were encouraged to increase giving as there is currently projected to be a shortage in both general and missions giving compared to expenses.

Paper copies of the reports are available by request - talk to Gary or Pam Philpot if interested.
