Trustees

 We waited all spring for this warm summer weather….and now it is August.

On July 17th we had a Special Meeting to give an update on the mid-year financials.  Thank you to all who stayed at the church and online.  For those who did not attend, we gave an update comparing the 2022 budget to actual numbers.  The areas that were higher than budgeted were the heating oil and plowing costs for the church; and for the Parsonage, we had increased costs for heating oil and repairs (stove and hot water heater). The extra costs totaled $10,000.

We feel we need to put out a Trustee Appeal at this time. When expenses increase like this, the cash flow is affected, and we have had to take money out of the endowment.  We will be sending out a letter explaining the above costs and including envelopes for any amount you can send to help with the church finances.

Next up for fundraising is the September 7th turkey dinner. Thank you to Paul Weld and crew for being the cooks. There will be a limited number of dinners available for sit down in Fellowship Hall and take out will be available. We are able to return to sit down thanks to all who volunteered.

October might seem like a long way away,  but we will be getting things ready for the Fryeburg Fair in August.  As we know year after year, we need volunteers for crisp prep and selling in the booth.  There are morning and afternoon shifts for both so be thinking what you might be able to do to help. The prepping will begin at the end of September and the fair is October 2nd through 9th.
