Financial update:

Don Watson has faithfully served as FBC treasurer for two terms and is passing the baton to me. Gratefully, Don is still willing to remain as Assistant Treasurer and training master as I step into his very impressive shoes! I ask for your patience and understanding as I take on this new challenge as your FBC Treasurer.

Fortunately, your contributions and gifts have remained steady and even surpassed our budgeted figures. Thank you all so much for your continued support as we join in our worship time virtually. As Don mentioned in his last Tidings report, building usage has decreased and with this, the expenses of running the building have been reduced as well.

Additionally, staff costs for this period are slightly decreased with the child care staff not working, and the Music Director was hired two months after the year had elapsed.

If you have signed up for Realm (Church Software Database) you may view a secure page that lists all your financial contributions to First Baptist Church. If you have questions, please contact Martha VanCleave (mvcleave@linfield.edu), Don Watson (donjw@comcast.net) or Barbara Burr (barbaracoleburr@gmail.com).

We are so grateful.

FBC Finance Committee,

Barbara Burr, Judee Kunze, Martha VanCleave, Don Watson, Roger Dell, Jane Apel
