Plan For Covenantal Giving - June 18 Meeting With Leaders Of The Diocese
On Saturday, June 18, 2022, Dave Jones, Little Fork’s Treasurer, and Rev. Stacy represented the congregation at a meeting with leaders of the Diocese to request permission for Little Fork to be allowed to incrementally implement the Plan for Covenantal Giving over the next few years. This plan standardizes congregational pledges to the Diocese at 10% of plate and pledge by 2025.
In our ongoing commitment to financial transparency, we are sharing with the congregation the information we shared with the Diocese. In addition to the budget numbers, the Diocese asked us to answer questions about our ministries at Little Fork. Mandi Dillion, Senior Warden and Rev. Stacy completed the narrative portions of this report.
This is the first in a series of eNews articles which will cover those questions and our responses. Below we have provided a preview of future articles.If you have any questions, please contact me.
