On FRI, MAY 26, the Board of Elders sent the congregation an important update regarding worship services. In case you missed it, you can view the letter here. Mark also spoke briefly about this update at all three services on SUN, MAY 28. You can view those portions of the services here: 11:00 AM or 4:00 PM. 

The Board of Elders welcomes any feedback or perspectives you would like to offer at [email protected]. Emails sent to this address will be received by all of the elders.

In addition, all Park Street congregants are invited to a meeting on FRI, JUN 9 at 7:00 PM to hear more details from the Board of Elders about the recent announcement regarding worship services. There will also be a time dedicated to answering questions. The Board hopes to see many of you there and invites your prayers as we move together in this new direction.

At the Annual Meeting in February, the congregation approved a “Big Ask” regarding the 2023 Missions Budget and anticipates a substantial increase of $266K in giving, or 15.9%, for this year. This increase is due to long-planned, additional funding for PSC missionaries to various parts of Asia and the Middle East and continuing outreach through City Engagement. Currently, year-to-date giving to Missions is equal to, but not greater than, last year. Please remember that gifts toward the Missions Budget must be specifically designated that way when you give electronically or noted in the memo line on your check or envelope. The illustration below provides a summary of the need.

The 2023 Ministry & Operations Budget anticipates a more modest increase in congregational giving of $141K, or 4.6% and giving is currently at a pace to achieve that outcome.

SUN, JUN 11 & SUN, JUN 25 | After the 8:30 & 11 AM Services | Welcome Center
