2018 Budget Information Meeting

Adult Faith Formation Groups in January!

Tuesday, January 9 at 7:00 PM in Grace Place

We hope that every adult at Living Word is involved in faith formation that moves them deeper in their discipleship walk. When we care for our own faith development then we are better able to care for those around us and do the things God has called us to do in life.

This Budget Information Meeting is an opportunity for you to see the 2018 budget and ask any questions before it is voted on at the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 28 at 12:15 PM. __________________________________________________
