Based on September financial reports.

INCOME

On the Income side, we are running somewhat ahead of budget, thanks to generous pledge payments that are overcoming deficits in feast and plate offerings, and rent and building use. Both of those areas were directly affected by the pandemic, and both are beginning to rebound now. We have hopes that they may continue their slow return to pre-pandemic levels in the months ahead. In the meantime, members’ generosity is keeping us on a solid footing. 

EXPENSE 

We are running close to budget overall. Our Lay Staff lines are under budget because our Office Coordinator Ann is still working reduced hours; our Music Minister Deanna is also working fewer hours this fall due to temporarily reduced availability. Formation is under budget, largely because youth were not able to take a trip this summer. Buildings and Grounds is over year-to-date budget largely due to snow removal costs early in the year. 

OVERALL… 

Year-to-date income currently exceeds year-to-date expenses. We expect some expenses that are currently under budget to catch up; for example, Outreach funds will all be sent out to do good in the world. However, if current trends continue, it seems likely that we will end the year with income and expenses very close, and possibly a slight surplus. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has made the effort to keep up your giving to St. Dunstan’s through the challenges of the past 18 months. We are carrying on and rebuilding, thanks to you, as well as to all the many ways people participate, help out, contribute, and support us in prayer.
