Increased Offertory Appeal...A Success!

I am most grateful to all those who responded so generously to our Increased Offertory Appeal. Your goodness and understanding has made the appeal a success. You will have noticed the increase to the weekly collection as so many committed to making some increase in giving. Here is a summary report I provided to the finance council at its last meeting:
 

Average Collection (Jan-Sept 2018)	$17,000
Average Collection since Appeal (Oct-Nov)	$20,000
Households Contacted:	1,930
Households Increasing	617
Households Making One Time Gifts*	62
Households Not Responding	1,250

                         
* One time gifts totaled $5,200.
