2010 Budget
Christ Church in Worship and Action
A Narrative Budget for 2009
REVENUES $191,670.00
Parishioners’ Contributions $97,700.00
The dedication of our Parishioners to Christ and his work is truly amazing. Through regular giving and seasonal envelopes we have offered to God from our home budgets this sum for the work of Ministry in our Community.
Church Groups $5,000.00
The hard work of our Parishioners is spearheaded by our St. Monica’s/ACW and our Men’s Club. These groups offer time and money to raise money for the operation of Church as well as funding other charitable groups and sponsor fellowship activities for us all to share.
Special Projects $36,970.00
Special events like the Annual Turkey Dinner and Silent Auctions along with Hall and Rectory Garage usage and recycling of bottles and newspapers and special donations like memorials raise a considerable amount of money to further our work.
Investment Income $52,000.00
This is the income generated from about 1.5 million dollars in investments. Monies set aside from many people’s estates and various smaller funds. As you can see the interest earned really makes a huge difference in our financial picture. Any gift, large or small, is always gratefully appreciated. Where much of this invested money is from gifts from people’s wills, you too should consider a lasting way of helping to do Christ’s work in your Parish Church through your will.
EXPENDITURES $191,671.00
Faith, Worship, and Ministry $104,665.00
This budget item is used for the paid ministry and support staff, travel, sending representatives to our Annual Synod meeting, Workshops and Conferences, and Worship and Offices supplies. We are blessed with a part-time Parish Administrator, Eleanor Perry and Care Taker, Allan Smith besides our Rector, Archdeacon Glenn Eason in paid positions. Further, we have the assistance of volunteers and the Reverend Charlotte Ross as our unpaid (NSOM) Priest. Everyone is important in doing God’s work in this place.
Outreach $31,060.00
Our Outreach covers our Sunday hospitality, monies from individuals and budget for the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), Archbishop Caleb Lawrence’s Discretionary Fund, the Council of the North (Amazing Grace), and Local outreach such as Christmas Cheer Fund and the Food Bank. Synod Allotment is here because this enables our Diocese to run and carry out the larger mission of the Church throughout our Diocese, in our Country, and internationally.
Buildings $51,385.00
The operation of our building includes the Church, the Parish Hall, the Rectory, and to insure them. To maintain safe, healthy and cheerful buildings has been a priority of our Council. When the buildings of God look like they have been cared for then God is honoured and the community in which we live is respected.
Financial Management $4,560.00
Costs of managing our financial resources.
