A courageous step was taken by the Voters Assembly to adopt a balanced budget for 2010. In past years the expected shortfall was not included in the budget. Nevertheless, cash assets have been used to pay the shortfall. We can no longer afford to ignore this situation. By passing a balanced budget we are placing before us the realistic costs associated with supporting the ministry of Emmaus Lutheran congregation. This realistic budget challenges us to our monthly income to meet our budgeted expenses. Please prayerfully consider the blessings that God has given you and what you can give back to Him to support His ministry at Emmaus. Perhaps you can increase your regular giving in the coming weeks and months, or give an additional gift of support.

Beginning this Sunday we will begin to note the monthly and weekly giving as a way to thank God for His support and care. We will also note the monthly need according to our budget to encourage us in our stewardship.
