▪ The Church’s fiscal year ends on
August 31, which means there are only
3 more Sundays (including today, August 14) for offerings for the Annual
Blueprint. In order to meet our
financial obligations, we need $15,063 before
August 31. That is an average of $5,025
per Sunday. Can you help us meet this
goal? Please prayerfully consider how you can generously support the mission of
Washington Mennonite. If you have
questions, see Mary Lou Farmer, Treasurer.
Thank you for your generous gifts!
