Treasurer’s
We’re holding our own. Revenues down a bit. We received $860.00 in memorial donations that were earmarked for the General Fund. Our office expenses were higher due to the yearly payments for the church management software and our computer support contract. The August Synod donation and Pastor Megan’s August benefits payment were both paid in September.
Paperwork will be submitted this month to get the PPP loan converted to a grant.
The bank has changed its name and website address. It’s Grove Bank and the website is grovebancorp.com
 
Pastor’s
We have moved back inside for worship. Confirmation will be in partnership with other local churches and consist of zoom calls and others in the business community will also participate to discuss their contributions and expertise in their chosen areas.
We need to take a closer look at our long-term goal of live streaming worship services effectively. Questions to consider: What do we need?, Who do we need?, What will the overall product look like?
