Mid-December Budget Update

During the last weeks of December our congregation’s M&O and Missions giving is hoped to be $590,000 for M&O and $520,000 for Missions. We have been making steady progress through the first weeks of December. While the remaining need may seem daunting, especially if you are new to Park Street, take heart. It is typical for 30% or more of the annual budgets to be funded by gifts given in the month of December. The accompanying chart illustrates the situation.  

Please pray, remembering that each of us should give as we are able, and that God loves a cheerful giver. May each of us give generously as we are led.

Please remember that gifts intended for Missions must be designated as such – so when you intend a gift for Missions please make sure to note “Missions” in the memo line whether your gift is given electronically or on a bank check.

Join a Missionary Care Team

During the recent Global Missions Conference we asked you to consider joining a Missionary Care Team (MCT) in the coming year as your next step in global missions. Due to a technical glitch with the Google form, we were unable to capture the names and email addresses of those who responded. Please contact the Missions Office at [email protected] if you responded and have not heard from us. Missionary Care Teams, formerly referred to as “Barnabas Groups,” stand with our missionaries in prayer and encouragement and become personal liaisons between the missionaries and our congregation.

Details about these and other events can be found on the events page!
