1. Financial Secretary Report
o
Nothing to report
2. April Minutes were approved
3. Treasurer's Report (see April 2020
reports in Drop Box)
o
Paul reviewed the April reports with the
committee. Contributions are down but so
are expenses. Considering that we are
currently not physically together for worship and that we haven’t taken
anything from savings, we feel our financial picture is still ok.
4. Per Capita – $500 will be sent this month
to keep our plan for paying BRPC per capita.
5. Joy Scholarship – The deadline for fall
semester scholarships is June 1st.
Sandy will continue to put out reminders of the availability of these
funds.
6. Fund raising request – Shelley Melewski
has requested permission to sell greeting cards to benefit the Raytown Summer
Lunch Program. Don Pine made a motion to
recommend approval of this request to the Session. Motion carried.

- Per the Property Committee, this will cost approximately $2,500.00. Our recommendation is that this expense be
taken from Account #28612 (new roof fund).

June newsletter from the Endowment Fund Committee to remind the congregation
about this fund - especially to suggest that everyone donate
the amount of their age on their birthday.

too early begin planning. Paul’s
church’s 2021 theme will be “Reassess, Recalculate and Rebuild
