THE FINANCE COMMITTEE UPDATES

GREAT JOB WALKER CHURCH!

Thanks to our Committee Chairpersons and our congregation, we were under budget

for 2009 by $16,135.17!!!

Our Budget for 2009 was $250,808.30 and our actual expenses were $234,673.13.

Job well done!!!!

The Stewardship Campaign, “Continuing the
Journey,” was begun the first Sunday in November and
ended on November 25 with Celebration Sunday. On that
day the results of the congregation’s pledges to commit prayers,

service, and financial gifts to Walker’s 2010
church year were received.

The budget had been approved at Charge
Conference on October 14, 2009, in the amount of
$265,161 on faith that the receipts of 2010 would
support its operating expenses and activities. For church
year, Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2010, a total of $254,983 is
expected to be received in the form of tithes and
offerings which are recorded to the General Fund. Of this
amount, pledges were received in the amount of
$213,898. It is estimated that contributions from those
who do not pledge plus anonymous gifts and currency
and coins will make up the difference.

Pledges for 2009 totaled $192,564 and $186,497
or 96.8% of this amount was received. The amount of
giving from remaining contributors was estimated at
$46,270; however, $53,029 or 14.6% more was received.

Currency and coins exceeded the $4000 estimate by
$551.
