Ed opened with a devotion and a prayer.  We were thrilled that he was feeling well enough to attend after his hospital stay last week.

1. Financial Secretary Report
o     Linda’s schedule slows down some this week and she intends to buckle down and seriously tackle the steps needed to convert from Shelby  .v5 to Next.

2.  Treasurer's Report (see March 2019 reports in Drop Box)
o        Paul reviewed the March financial reports with the committee.  Expenses once again exceeded income.
o        Account #53214 has been added to use to pay Mike Schumacher for custodial services.  This expense should be more than covered by the funds in Account #54118-Contract Labor

3.  Per Capita
o   Per Capita has continued to trickle in.  We will continue to remind folks about the importance of paying this.

4.  Joy Scholarship 
o   $500 has been sent to Meagan Berry as decided last month.
o   We have been promoting this for at least a month and believe there could be a couple of applicants.

5.  Request to use approximately $700 from memorial funds was received from Music Director, Grace Cox-Johnson,  to purchase a portable Kawasaki keyboard..
Don Pine made a motion to approve this request.  Don Young amended this motion to include that we would use the funds in two  of the memorial funds designated for Music Ministry - acct #28314 ( Marguerite Starcke) and acct #28320 (Jim Sinden) AND that we transfer the $1832.79 CD in to the General Bank Account to help cover this expense and to, hopefully, keep enough in the bank account to cover upcoming expenses.

Next meeting is 1:30 p.m. on May 13, 2019.  Opening devotional prayer will be given by Linda Schumacher.


Pastor Ron ended our meeting with a prayer.


Respectfully submitted,
Linda Schumacher
