Financial and Generosity Reports — August 2025

by Barbara Strobel

Financial Report

by Barbara Strobel, parishioner and treasurer of the church

We are happy to report that, as of June 30, 2025, our revenue from donations is on budget and our expenses are under budget. We anticipate that both revenue and expenses will equalize during the second half of 2025 and that we will end the year with a balanced budget. Your church remains in a strong financial position with healthy cash reserves. Thanks be to God!

We are grateful that you have continued to give generously and ask that you continue to do so. Your giving helped fund our wonderful Easter services with their special music, as well as relief for the recent floods in the Hill Country.

It is an exciting time at SJD as we expand our ministries, grow in being “A Light to the City”, and upgrade our facilities. We are busy with increased programming and outreach opportunities. There are many ways to serve. Please pray about how God can use your time, talent, and treasure, and then respond wholeheartedly.

If you are unsure of your current pledge/giving status or would like to discuss how you can support St. John the Divine, please contact Tara Converse, director of parish giving.
