Per the trustees' report, the church met its financial commitments for the year, including assessment and utility costs, by seeking extra donations to ensure the Reserve Fund was met by year-end. The accounts note a planned 5% rise in Circuit assessment contributions, which management expects to be covered by funds from monthly lunches and other events.
