Inadequate Income

This is a particularly interesting graph, of Church income over the first six months of a financial year. The yellow arrow here represents our target income per month. We were a little below target at the beginning of the year (the bottom bar), so we put a practical situation to the members. This did no good. Income dropped further (the bar second from the bottom). Our diaconate then came to the conclusion that the problem was spiritual. We put the spiritual aspect to the members, and income bounced back (the top bar).
