Sandy opened with a devotion.
1. Financial Secretary Report
o
Linda electronically signed the contract
agreeing to convert from Shelby .v5 to Shelby Next and set it up so that the
initial $1000.00 due and the monthly charge of $177.00 that will begin once the
conversion is complete will be charged to the church credit card. Actual work on this has not begun as Linda
has not been able to get a response yet to questions she has about answering
the initial questionnaire that was received from Shelby. It appears this may be a complex,
complicated, and time-consuming process.
2. Treasurer's Report (see February 2018
reports in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the December financial reports
with the committee. Receipts were down –
probably due to not having worship for two Sunday’s in February – but the
checking account balance has, thankfully, remained large enough to cover
expenses.
o
There was discussion about probable future cash
flow deficiencies. If we need additional money to cover expenses,
Paul recommends we cash out the CD 10110
first since the interest earned is minimal.
3. Per Capita
o
We have sent $1000.00 and will continue to send
a monthly payment to try to get caught up with this obligation.
4. Joy Scholarship
o
Meagan Berry, a Heartland Presbytery seminary
student has applied for a scholarship from the Joy Scholarship Fund. Don Pine made a motion and Don Young seconded
to give Meagan Berry $500.00 from the Joy Scholarship Fund – motion carried.
o
Sandy will get reminders out to the congregation
via weekly email, newsletter, and bulletin about the availability of these
scholarship funds and the future deadlines.
Next meeting 1:30 p.m. on April 8, 2019. Opening devotional prayer will be given by
Ed Ingram.
Don
Pine ended our meeting with a prayer.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Schumacher
