At our last Serv Mtg it was announced that we had two resolutions to make.
1. Due to the slips turned in the congregation will be giving $1,200 p.mo. to the Building Committee for upkeep of the KH.
2. The congregation resolves to donate $850 p.mo. to the Kingdom Hall Building Fund.
They both passed almost unanimously. (... With only myself and two others I saw abstaining).
That's a monthly total of $2,050. (The other Cong. that shares the KH is making a similarly expensive resolution).
In the past the local contribution to the Building Committee was $1,475 p.mo. and always less than $100 for the KHBF.
There were quite a few months where the Cong. came up short last year.
How the heck do the elders think the publishers will really live up to contributing even more this coming service year?
Oh, and good-bye to the $14, 000 saved-up reserve in the Building Committee bank account as well.
