Covenanters contributed some $5.7 million in response to the December  2004 tsunami, the hurricanes that subsequently ravaged broad areas along  southern coastal and inland areas of the United States, and three years  of support for various Covenant World Relief projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also witnessed good numerical growth in the number of women pastors,  including those in senior pastor positions,\u201d Lundgren told delegates.  He likewise celebrated the expansion in ethnic diversity within the  denomination, pointing out that more than 21 percent of all Covenant  congregations are now ethnic or multi-cultural.<\/p>\n<p>To access the PowerPoint presentation used in his report, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/7C\/gA\/7CgAsJNBEuSOjDGIp7qTKg\/treasurers-report.ppt\">Treasurers-report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2007 Coordinated Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A 2007 Coordinated Budget of $13.5 million was approved by delegates,  with $9.1 million to be sought from local Covenant churches in support  of shared denominational ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Lundgren reported to delegates that the Coordinated Budget for the  just-completed 2005 fiscal year was balanced. He attributed that in part  to what he described as \u201cgood expense controls\u201d on the part of those  who administer various portions of the budget.<\/p>\n<p>To access the PowerPoint presentation used in his report, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/7C\/gA\/7CgAsJNBEuSOjDGIp7qTKg\/2007budget.ppt\">2007 Coordinated Budget.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Individuals with questions concerning either of the reports may email them to <a href=\"mailto:ruth.stone@covchurch.org\">ruth.stone@covchurch.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/uploads\/mE\/MV\/mEMVFbpllnGDJfDRXemY6Q\/2006TakeHome.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/extras\/fileIcons\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"2006TakeHome.pdf\" \/> 2006TakeHome.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/uploads\/mE\/MV\/mEMVFbpllnGDJfDRXemY6Q\/2007budget.ppt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/extras\/fileIcons\/ppt.gif\" alt=\"2007budget.ppt\" \/> 2007budget.ppt<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/uploads\/mE\/MV\/mEMVFbpllnGDJfDRXemY6Q\/treasurers-report.ppt\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/extras\/fileIcons\/ppt.gif\" alt=\"treasurers-report.ppt\" \/> treasurers-report.ppt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2011 The Evangelical Covenant Church.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=7603&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO, IL (June 20, 2006) &#8211; The delegate summary from the just-concluded 121st Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Covenant Church is now available online in PDF format for downloading and copying, along with PowerPoint presentations for both the treasurer\u2019s report and the 2007 Coordinated Budget approved by delegates.
