1. Financial Secretary Report
o
The conversion to Shelby Next has been
especially useful the past two weeks since :Linda broke her right arm
because she can
input contributions on her laptop while lounging on the couch.
o
Linda ordered and has received the boxes of
offering envelopes for 2020. Special
envelopes are now included in the boxes with regular offering envelopes.
2. Treasurer's Report (see August 2019
reports in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the JAugust financial reports with
the committee. In H1, the Receipts and Payments include the large amount
received from the insurance company and then paid out to the roofing company.
o
Paul has alerted Bobby Neal about the large
increase in the electric bill. Property Committee
will be investigating.
o
Overall, we are doing OK financially considering
that we have not had to take anything from savings account.
4. Blue Ridge Bank Account – Authorized Check
Signers
Sandy has gathered necessary
information and signatures from new check signers and will be taking it to the
bank today.
5. Property Insurance
The proposed change in insurance companies was approved
by the Session last month.
6. 2020 Budget
At the August Session meeting,
Committee Chairs were instructed to provide their budget requests in September.
Ed Ingram made a motion and Don Pine seconded
that rather than make a line item in the 2020 budget for moving expenses
for a new pastor, we will plan to take that expense from our savings. Motion carried.
7. 2020 Stewardship Campaign
We will need to finalize a plan
at our next meeting. Paul shared that
his church is using the theme “20/20 Vision”
Our committee liked that idea
but more discussion will be needed on how to use this theme.
Next meeting will be 1:30 PM
on October 14th.
Opening devotional prayer will be given by Bill Melewski
Don
Pine ended our meeting with a prayer.
Respectfully
Submitted,
Linda
