PLANNING & BUDGET PROGRESS
The Planning Committee has now completed our planning meetings with Elders and their Committees, Deacons and other groups of the Church. Our objective was to help them start developing an outline and their implementation plans for carrying out the Church’s Mission Statement and Vision. In this process they were provided with information that would be helpful to them, along with the congregation’s observations as documented on the “Vision Wall”. These were later transcribed and developed as an integral part of the planning for Church committees, Deacons and groups.
The next phase is for the Church committees, Deacons and groups to forward their outlines to the planning committee. We will then develop a coordinated plan for the church and its implementation. We also will be doing additional research as needed to achieve the Vision and the Mission of Cottonwood. Our focus is to attract a new generation of Christians - developing meaningful service, Spirit-filled worship and fellowship, and preparing for the arrival of our new Pastor and future years. We will be reporting to the Congregation as we progress.
Also, the budget for 2012 of $299,503.34 was forwarded to Session and approved. It shows a shortfall from projected income of $59,503.34, to be funded from savings to the extent not covered by giving. The budget for 2012 has increased over last year’s by $7,878.00 due to cost increases in utilities, general operational cost and projected startup costs incurred by the PNC in our search for a new Pastor.
