Financial Update for June
Thanks so much for your faithful giving. Through June we have received $94,400 in tithe, which goes directly to the Southern California Conference. We have also received about $85,000 in giving to The Place and our local church budget and other specific funds. Although we are still behind budget by about $24,000, we are only about $11,000 behind our actual expenses so far this year so far. But, we continue to need your support. You may return your tithes and offerings at The Place or online at www.theplacechurch.com or by clicking on the link. God bless you as you continue to bless The Place and our community.
