Pastor
Elizabeth opened our meeting with prayer
1. Financial Secretary Report
o
Linda is more thankful than ever that we
converted to Shelby Next when we did since it enables her to post BRPC
contributions from home. Karen A is
putting any contributions received during the week in a basket outside her office
door for Linda to pick up every Monday morning.
Linda picks up, posts, and deposits.
o
Contributions were a little slim this week. Pastor Elizabeth will be making a reminder
about the continued need for offerings during our online worship services in
the future now that Holy Week has passed.
2. Treasurer's Report (see March 2020
reports in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the March reports with the
committee. We were extremely glad Paul
could join us considering he is recovering from surgery for broken hip and
pelvis.
3. Herb Sinden Memorial Fund – It was the
consensus of the Finance Committee via email on April 3rd that these funds be
given to Peggy Sinden to assist with her financial needs. The Session expects to make their final
approval of this sometime this week.
4. Per Capita – with everything that was
going on, no funds were sent to Presbytery in March. So, a total of $1,000.00 will be sent to
Presbytery this week to pay a portion of the per capita amount owed by BRPC for
2020.
5. Joy Scholarship – The deadline for fall
semester scholarships is June 1st.
This deadline has been/will be publicized in weekly email and monthly
newsletter. Sandy believes we have the
potential of receiving 5 applications.
The amount of individual scholarships will be decided after we know how
many applicants we actually have been received.
6. BRPC Checking Account - Sandy verified
that she is the primary signer for BRPC’s bank account at Blue Ridge Bank. Other members who are authorized to sign
checks are: Jana Henderson, Sally Ingram, Linda Lockwood, Gary Oberlander, and
Shelley Melewski.
7. BRPC Credit Cards – The following
member’s have BRPC credit cards: Connie
Oliver – Hy-Vee & Sam’s Club; Gary Oberlander – Sam’s Club & Visa;
Christi Neal – Visa. There is also a
BRPC credit card in the petty cash box to which only Karen Argo and/or Sandy
Moore have access.
Next meeting will be via Zoom 1:00
PM on May 11th.
