The document is a proposed 2010 budget for Sts. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church that outlines projected income and expenses. It estimates income of $83,575 and expenses of $82,986, for a small net profit. However, the church has faced a $15,000 annual shortfall in required income from offerings. It discusses the need to increase weekly donations from the current average of $3-5 per parishioner. The budget does not include several restricted funds or self-sustaining programs. It raises whether the church should pursue a greater mission beyond Sunday services by supporting charities and growth.
