Emmanuel’s consistory has just received its six-month budget review at the first meeting held after the said time period. We are seeing some trends that have given us cause for concern. By using average weekly giving
numbers and projecting to the end of 2018, numbers suggest we will fall short of our financial obligations. As we review the numbers for the upcoming 2019 budget, we ask each member of Emmanuel to prayerfully
consider their giving. Without your continuing financial support, we would be unable to remain in operation. Thank you.
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 (NASV)
