2020 Year End Financial Report
This has been a challenging year for Village. While it might not have been what “we” had wanted or planned, God has remained faithful to Village.
Based upon our 2019 year-end giving, we started 2020 with a $2.85M budget. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and our services were forced to shift to online only while many Villagers experienced financial hardship. We began to see a 17 to 20% reduction in our giving and facility fee revenues. As a result, we implemented restricted spending and put a hold on some of our planned ministry staff hires.

Congregational Vote
Each January at our Annual Meeting, we conduct a congregational vote on our next year's budget, new Elder Board members, and the next nominating committee. This year we are voting on those items as well as our internal Lead Pastor candidate, Pastor Paul Choi. Because we are worship remotely, you will be receiving paper ballots with instructions for an online voting option.
1. Please look for the ballot(s) in the mail hopefully by the end of this week. If you don't receive a ballot by mail for some reason by next Tuesday, January 26, please call the church office at (503) 643-6511 or email info@villagebeaverton.com. Note that all ballots must be returned on/before February 3 at 5:00pm.
2. If you plan to vote electronically, make sure you use the Unique ID provided on your ballot. Deadline to vote is February 3 at 5:00pm.
3. For all other questions regarding voting, please reach out to Elder Vice Chair Kamal Polumaru.

Goodbye Gift for Pastor Renjy
As Pastor Renjy Abraham let us know last Sunday, he is stepping down from Village staff at the end of the month, solely focusing on his work as Dean of Spiritual Life and Cultural Integration at Multnomah University. Pastor Renjy has served Village for over 16 years, and leaves an indelible mark on our community. So many of us have personal stories and experiences with Pastor Renjy, so we ask you to actually write one or two down on a card to give to him as a compilation of the impact of his ministry to us. You can mail or drop off cards to our Front Office until the end of the month, or to send a digital memory, you can do so here: Favorite Renjy Memory
To stay in contact with Pastor Renjy, please know his Village email will be available through the end of the month, and after that he has his professional Multnomah email.
