Youth Trip
Our Middle Schoolers had a blast in Southern Colorado last week! They had all kinds of adventures, but they also started a year long conversation about Hospitality. We can't wait to see what God has for them in the coming year!

The 2040 Matched Savings Program
As our Benevolence Team shared recently, Council Tree has launched a new Benevolence Initiative, the 2040 Matched Savings Program. Through this initiative, individuals within our community will be matched with financial coaches and will be offered the opportunity to have their savings matched through Council Tree donations specifically to this program.

Financial Update From the Council
Here is a summary of the financials for the first two months of our fiscal year.
Above is a table showing the Council Tree Cash flow for April and May 2025. Total Giving/Income is below the seasonality adjusted budget. Actual expenses are below budget as we have delayed a few expenses.
This shortage of cash has been covered by the savings provided from the $100,000 we set aside from the Nourish Fund. The savings account is now $69,700. What a blessing it is to have this savings account.
The additional $70,000 that was collected and set aside for projects from the Nourish Fund is still in its own account. There will be more discussion on how to spend these funds at The Summit meeting scheduled for August 23rd . Stay tuned for details.
As always if you have questions please reach out –

Volunteer Opportunities
From the beginning of creation, God established holy rhythms of life and service for those who follow in God’s path. We each have personal seasons of rest and restoration, and of new life and service. Council Tree encourages spiritual wondering alongside the Holy Spirit to discern what spiritual season you may be in.
If you find yourself in a place where you have margin to serve, we could definitely use your gifts! If you feel God is calling you to explore serving, we would encourage you to start an exploratory conversation with a team lead to find out more.
