新冠疫情影響全球，教會自 2020 年三月按照安省指引，暫停實體崇拜，改為網上，2021 年已是第二年。讚美主！2021 年教會在財務上又再次領受神傾下的恩典。
2021 年預算收入 72 萬 1 千，支出 90 萬 4 千，預計欠缺是 18 萬 3 千。
2021 年赤字由九月的高峰 12 萬 7 千減至十一月的 6 萬 2 千。
單在十二月份，教會收到 34 萬 1 千元的奉獻，相當於全年奉獻總和的 40%。年度結算有 20 萬 1 千的盈餘。
感謝神，疫情持續，弟兄姊妹深愛教會，掛念教會的需要，未能返敎會實體敬拜期間，弟兄姊妹亦不忘把奉獻親自送到教會，或郵寄支票，或透過銀行電子轉帳。
教會自 2018 年十一月開始接受銀行電子轉帳奉獻，2019 年有 37 個帳戶（共收到 11 萬 4 千元），截至 2021 年底帳戶增至 164 個（共收到 59 萬 1 千元）。
由於實體聚會受到限制，2021 年的事工開支低於預算。
感謝主豐富的預備和供應。我們繼續求神賜智慧，做個好管家，善用資源，擴展神的國，榮耀祂的名，阿門。

Our church has been in lockdown since March 2020 due to COVID-19. 2021 was the second year of this pandemic, which has had significant impact globally.
Praise the Lord! Financially, 2021 was another year where we experienced God’s blessings poured upon us.
Our budgeted income for 2021 was $721K versus budgeted expenses at $904K, a deficit of $183K.
The deficit in the months from September 2021 through November 2021 reduced from a peak of $127K down to $62K.
In December alone, we received a total of $341K in offerings, representing 40% of all offerings for the year. We finished another year with a surplus at $201K.
We thank God for brothers and sisters who love our Church so much that they remember the needs of God’s Kingdom during the sustained pandemic. Over the lockdown period, some brothers and sisters dropped off offerings at the Church monthly, while some mailed in cheques or donated via e-transfer.
We started accepting e-transfer offerings from November 2018. In 2019, there were 37 accounts (totalling $114K), increasing to 164 accounts (totalling $591K) by the end of 2021.
As in-person gatherings were restricted, ministry expenses were lower than budgeted.
We praise the Lord for His abundant provision! We continue to pray that God will give us the wisdom to use it wisely and that we’ll be good shepherds to expand His Kingdom. His name be glorified! Amen.
