LCC issues financial update

ONLINE – The Board of Directors of Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) has released a bulletin insert for congregations providing Synod’s up-to-date financial information. LCC will issue updates on Synod’s financial information on a quarterly basis.

The insert highlights the variety of work Synod does on behalf of congregations in such areas as national and international missions, church worker education, leadership and member care, and community building. “To accomplish this work together,” the insert notes, “generous offerings of faithful members throughout the country are needed. A portion of gifts laid upon the altar at local congregations is remitted to LCC. In total, these gifts make up 68 percent of LCC’s overall revenue and are critical for funding the vital work we do together.”

The insert goes on to note, however, that LCC is currently facing a deficit “due to overall congregational remittances being less than expected.” To that end, the BOD encourages congregations to “bring this matter to the Lord in prayer, trusting God to provide the resources needed to carry out His great commission.”

The Board of Directors will provide an update on LCC finances in the November/December issue of The Canadian Lutheran magazine, as well as by email and via the InfoDigest.
