1Q25 SUM Financial Update

We’re off to a strong and hopeful start in 2025—and we have you to thank!

Giving during the first quarter has exceeded expectations, with donations coming in 25% above projections. While our expenses are currently running about 3% over budget, the generous level of giving more than offsets the difference. Thanks to your faithful support, our financial outlook is healthy, and our ministries remain strong. 

As we approach the summer months, please take advantage of our Vanco platform to set up your donations as recurring payments with either a credit card or your bank account. We always have a dip in giving over the summer, so if you plan to take a small hiatus from church, please remember that we still have lots of activity here at SUM. You can click the blue Donate button on the top right of our website to set this up.

Your generosity is what makes all we do at Simsbury UMC possible—from worship and mission outreach to spiritual formation and community care. We’re deeply grateful for your commitment and care.

With thanks and appreciation,
Jennifer Acheson
Finance Chair, on behalf of the Finance Team
