    • Total April offerings were lower than budget and prior year by $8,596 and $7,720, respectively. Other receipts for April were higher than both budget and prior year, mainly related to building use income increases, partially offset by lower Thrivent Choice dollars coming in.
    • Overall, expenses are lower than budget and only slightly higher than prior year. The favorability to budget is mainly related to lower gas & electricity expense in April.
  • For April year to date, receipts were lower than expenses. Offerings year to date are lower than budget and prior year. Expenses are flat to budget but higher than prior year due to repairs & personnel expense.
