To help meet this commitment, we invite and encourage you to consider giving a special offering, above and beyond your regular giving to Associated, in the amount of $32.52 for each member in your household. If you have already sent your offering, THANK YOU! If not, please consider doing so today. Denominational Support: A total of $3,142.44 has been received to date for 2013. Just to let you know we owe approximately $15,500.00 per year. Offering Envelopes: If you ordered 2014 envelopes they are currently in the Narthex. Funding for Children & Youth Ministry Coordinators and Parish Associate: Members, please remember that we have three part -time staff positions (the Children’s & Youth Ministry Coordinators and Parish Associate) whose positions were approved for transitional funding from the Associated Endowment on a three year trial basis. They were being completely paid for from the Endowment and not current member giving. Electronic Giving: We thank everyone who has supported Associated with their time, talent and financial contributions. If you need a convenient way to make regular offerings we encourage you to look into our electronic giving options. You may find electronic giving a good way to make contributions. Please contact the church office for more information (507451-1546 or email Dawn at Dawn@AssociatedChurch. org). Funding for the Youth and Children’s positions expired in March 2011. At that point, the congregation will need to be able to assume full funding from our giving to the General Fund. Your ad- 8 ditional support will be needed now and future years. Many thanks!
