No matter what happens, the income remained the same. When someone in the church who is prominent died, we recieved a lot in memorials and the weekly general fund dropped. We borrowed from the memorial funds to pay the bills. We tried getting pledges to make budgets on, and the money was still overall the same. When I watch politicians on C-span, it reminds me of a lot of committees on church I sat on. Try to cut a church budget without high emotions. Government runs a lot like church.
