We Need and Appreciate Your Generosity

Sunday Collection for Dec. 28: $4,893.  To meet our annual operating budget, we need to collect at least $5,200 every week.  This week we were under by $307.  As of today, after the first half of the fiscal year, we are behind by $7,096 in meeting the annual operating budget.  Can you help us out a little bit more?
