September weekly collections continued an unfavorable trend of being (-$7,406 or 8.3%) behind September of '23. However, expenses were favorably less than '23 by $18,199. Income less expense ended the month at $4,741 more income. For the '24-'25 fiscal year, we received $22,808 more income than expenses. We are actively seeking to hire a Director of Worship and Music and a Youth minister. Therefore, it is imperative that we improve our weekly income position.
