May Financial Report

Phos Crew, we had a solid month of giving in May 2010.  

As reported earlier in the month we need $19,500 to be out of the 'red zone' on a monthly basis, but I appreciate how so many of you are stepping up stronger than ever.  

Let's keep it up during the summer! 

Sunday

Regular Offerings

5/17/2010

3,948.00

370.00

Total

18,243.75

 Just a side bar for those of you who are "%" minded folks.  The $370 on 5/30/2010 should cause you to ask, 'What happened' there?' . Glad you asked.  That was the Sunday that we had over 80 folks on a Mission Trip to Estill County.  That's an indicator of Phos' 'Sending Capacity' which is one of our 'scorecard items' that we always want to pay attention to.  The resulting 'loss of $$' on that Sunday would be called 'Opportunity Cost' in business terms and should be measured into how you try to analyze %s around Phos.  We play a riskier road when we focus on 'GOING' and 'Being' the church instead of staying and talking about being the church.  We know this.  You can see here that that choice 'cost' us plenty!  That's a price that Phos Church is willing to pay and the paid servants are taking up the slack when these sorts of gaps occur.  So, you should calculate in the gap between a 'normal' Sunday and this Sunday to see how serious we are about 'going' and 'being' the Church of Christ on the move here, there, and everywhere.  And, then I hope it causes you to celebrate one more way that Phos is different.

 

Thanks.

Have a great day,

Jeff
