The Stewardship Committee has worked hard to keep the costs down for 2007. They cut in numerous areas in order to make room for rising costs that are beyond our control. The largest cost increase next year will be in the area of utilities and maintenance. With the wonderful new Children's Building we have an additional 30,000 square feet to maintain. That means more A/C and janitorial costs.  There are other areas that go up with rising costs in insurance, paper goods, and other materials. We have numerous yearly contracts on things like copiers, maintenance repairs, the elevator, and others that go up each year as well.

Thanks to all those who worked so hard, devoting many hours of their time, to create this budget proposal. Please make plans to attend the "Townhall Meeting" on November 5th at 5:30 p.m. to get more information and ask any questions you might have. Also, mark your calendars for the Business Meeting on November 12th at 6 p.m. to vote on the new budget.

God is going to do great and mighty things at Calvary in 2007!!

blessings,
