3. Treasurer's Report (see September 2020
reports in Drop Box) –

Paul reviewed the September reports with the
committee.

For the most part, lower expenses are still
balancing out our lower income, so we still haven’t had to transfer any funds
from savings
·
We are fortunate that so many of our members
have been able to continue to support our church
·
Treasurer’s reports were approved for review
4. Per Capita
·
$1000.00 payment was made recently which leaves
a little over $1700.00
5. 2021 Stewardship Campaign
·
Pastor Elizabeth will be preaching a four Sunday
stewardship series on 10/18, 10/25, 11/1, and 11/8.
o
11/1 is All Saints Day so that will be most of
the focus, but stewardship will be included in the service
o
11/8 will be pledge Sunday. We are hoping this will be an in-person
service
·
Also, on each of those Sundays, a BRPC member
will be asked to give a 2-5 minute stewardship moment
answering the question "How have you experienced BRPC this year to be
socially distanced - spiritually connected, and why are you choosing to pledge
in 2021?"
o
Linda Schumacher will make a video for 10/18
o
The Finance Committee made some suggestions of
people for the other Sundays. Pastor
Elizabeth will contact them to see if they are willing/able
·
Barry Holmes composed a wonderful stewardship
letter which has been approved by a grateful Finance Committee
o
Linda S will add the church logo, etc and mail
it along with the pledge form for 2021 on or about 10/28

another discussion on this, it was the consensus of those present to consider

our circumstances
