November is always one interesting month in church life. Everyone is starting to think Christmas, holidays, school finishing, buying presents and for our management team here at Elevation we are thinking 2009 church budgets. Wow pastoring is so exciting!!
I actually do find doing budgets quick life giving. Now this is from a guy who didn't really excel at math. I think the part I love is looking at how each of our departments dreaming is going because that's what a budget is, its a dream document. The hard part is having the ability not to pop the dream bubble but where needed just let a little air out of it (because if you don't you will go broke). Budgets don't seem real spiritual but neither does being a poor steward by not allocating resources toward Kingdom progress. You will know where your heart or vision is because your budget will reflect it.
