Trustees Appeal
- As Achen mentioned in previous weeks, we are coming to the yearend which means it is also the end of the church financial year. A friendly reminder to all members to submit their pending dues and any contributions for 2022 as soon as possible. Per decision of our general body the set amount for voluntary contribution for a family is $85 per month or $1020 annually. Additionally, each family is expected at minimum to contribute $50 annually towards the diocese to meet the diocese dues per kalpana from our church. We thank all our members for their wholehearted support thus far and we request your cooperation with these contributions so that we can close the financial year smoothly
