FINANCIAL UPDATE
Q4 | 23/24
April - June
Thank you to every single person who has donated to Bethany. This past year, we were able to surpass our forecasted income with donations from 481 families, which is a testament to the generosity of our people! In 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 it says, “You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”
If you have attended Bethany for a long time, or just a short while, you know that we call people to give at the end of every service, but never do so in a demanding or forceful way. Due to our grace around this subject, we firmly believe that everyone that gives to Bethany has done so because they are being blessed by our ministry and want to be a blessing to others. So again, thank you to everyone that has partnered with us financially."

CHALLENGE
Did you know that July and August are typically the lowest donation months of the year?
Families are busy enjoying the beautiful weather, and with the disruptions in attendance we can easily forget to give. This quarter we want to challenge you to sign up for automatic withdrawals of your donations. This is a great way to keep your tax-receiptable donations consistent and makes donating easier than ever!
