From the Treasurer

 Hello All Saints,

Please find the August financial summary below. A few large annual pledges were received in August which resulted in a surplus for the month. Thank you for your continued support of the church.
 
Pledges for August were $24,798 versus the budgeted amount of $18,333. 
 
Ministry expenses, at $2,330, were less than the budgeted amount of $2,768 due to not incurring flower expenses. 
 
Minister expenses at $12,542, were less than the budgeted amount of $15,840 due to payroll timing and not incurring musician expenses.
 
Facility costs came in at $6,480 compared to the budgeted amount of $6,258 due to the completion of the heating system repairs and maintenance.
 
Operation costs came in at $473, compared to the budgeted amount of $1,119 due to lower than planned telephone/internet and office expenses. The transition to the new telephone/internet provider is complete. Thank you to Tina Wilfer and Brad Retzlaff who make this initiative a reality. 

All Saints ended the month with a surplus of +$3,179. YTD All Saints now has a surplus of +$6,634. We estimated the deficit would be ($28,510) so we continue to outperform expectations. 
 
Peace,
Alicia Bayambang
