Parking Lot Update

In response to the parking lot vote in October which showed an overall desire to pave the parking lot pending on sufficient financial support, stewardship has conducted an informal survey of the congregation.

Based on the survey, members informally were willing to immediately donate $61,000 above and beyond their usual tithing. Also, over the length of any loan members were willing to sacrifice an additional $25,000 above and beyond their usual tithing to pay down any loan balance (based on an average estimated loan length of 6 years).

The survey also indicated that on average, members supported using approximately $75,000 of existing unrestricted cash on hand. In addition, on average, members supported a loan amount of approximately $75,000. In addition, the existing Parking Lot fund balance is $5600.

A visual representation of the survey results as well as summary sheets are on display in the narthex and on our website. Please carefully review the information. A special voters meeting will be held on December 1 to decide how to proceed.
