We hope to put our pledges together with what the different committees are asking for, and have a budget for you soon. Last week, John Owen talked about the joy of abundant giving. He didn't really ask for money then, and I'm not asking for money now. We each give what we think we can. People in our meeting come with a wide variety of economic pictures.
Some people can give a lot, measured in dollar amounts, some give less.
We all do what we can. We encourage each other to give generously. Somehow, every year, we seem to make it. Our meeting has pretty open finances. We try to be clear about what we ask for.
