Pastoral Charge Reports/Updates:
Pastoral Charge Treasurer/Accountant - Tyler Hicks
A financial Statement from January to August had been sent out.
As it stands our budget is similar to other years. The charge doesn’t
receive donations, all monies come from each church so there is no
change. Bev has done a great job putting everything together to apply
for money. We hope we can keep it.
The money received was for salaries. Money can’t be give
to each individual church. The best solution is to reduce the money
given to the charge from each church.
Motion: That the printed Financial Statement be approved. Cd.
Motion: That payment from each church for November and December be deferred. Cd.
