• God’s extravagance through congregational and individual donors during the month of June 2023. Donor contributions in June totaled $61,299.50, which was 28% of the total congregational and individual giving for our fiscal year. This allowed us to end the year with $2668 of income over expenses. We may have done a few happy dances as we celebrated your display of support for our conference!! As we celebrate, we will continue to plan carefully for the coming year.
• Sophie Lapp Jost and her ministry at Bammental Heidelburg Mennonite Church in Germany. Sophie will be ordained at College Mennonite on Sunday July 16; Joanne Gallardo will officiate the ordination.
