  Coming Feb 11 (Saturday 7:15)  and 12 (Sunday 6:00 after a Church family Soup and Sandwich supper! ) at Royal City. 

Here’s a financial update……Normally both Royal City Church and Life Centre live within the framework of financially being “On the brink of blessing and the verge of disaster”….and this month is no exception. We closed off 2011 in the black and then nose-dived into January with 4500.00 in needed non budgeted facility costs. (Elevator/Drains/ and accumulated water damage repairs for the side chapel area) . In all areas we have excellent value from those who have done the work……..but we need to pay them J  You help is needed and appreciated! (large or small)  For friends who appreciate the specifics…..our regular bills and wage costs are up to date (as of today) BUT we have outstanding costs totalling (+/) $4500, with $700 available on deposit. Our mortgage payment has NOT been paid this month yet.

YOUTH

After a tremendous Large Group Worship Night last Friday we return to regular scheduled breakouts this week.  Try to finalize the breakouts you are wanting to track with this week so that group leaders can plan accordingly.  Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night!
