Total Charitable Giving including operating and other designated giving as of July 31:  $498,000

Thank you very much for your support. The Operational Management Team (OMT) and Finance Committee have made some changes in operating expenses to reduce the anticipated deficit for the year. Your faithful support over the past several years has allowed us to develop a sufficient reserve, so we will not need to borrow money to cover any deficit. 

St. Andrew has supported several ministries in addition to paying our staff, utilities, and maintaining facilities (both church & parsonage). Some of the ministries we have supported this year with our budget and with donations outside of operating include the following:  Food Pantry, Family Promise, Habitat for Humanity, Lafayette Urban Ministries, Africa University Campaign, UMCOR, Medical Debt, and Children & Family Ministries. Check https://andrew-umc.org/connect/service-opportunities/ for a complete list. In addition to financial support, we thank all those who volunteer their time & energy supporting the many small (and large) ministries that make the church run smoothly. 

For more information: The detailed report is available in the church office. Contact the church office if you have any questions or if you would like a pdf copy of the Finance Report sent to you via email or regular mail.
