WSDA NOVEMBER BOARD REPORT
Members of the church board met on the evening of November 18 and prayerfully considered an agenda prepared by the pastor and departmental leaders. Part of the role of the board is to receive reports from various church functions as to ongoing plans and goals.
The treasurer presented his monthly report, but in addition presented the report of the Conference Church Auditor. The report to the church was a ‘clean’ opinion, with no adverse findings as a result of the annual financial review. The auditor affirmed the treasurer and the church for faithful stewardship.
We the editors and contributors wish to thank Harold Greene, treasurer, and his colleagues, Christine Greene and David and Linda Giles in quietly and faithfully caring for the donations and financial matters of the church.
Treasurer Greene reports that, in a time when many conferences across North America are showing a decline in tithe, Westminster continues to show a modest increase year to date for 2010. Sabbath School and various mission giving appears to be holding steady over all. Local combined budget is stable, although Harold drew the board’s attention to a deficit in the Church School appropriation fund and a potentially inadequate cushion in the Gym Fund which pays the monthly mortgage obligation.
Other agenda items included the agenda for the upcoming Church Business Meeting, Adventurer Induction, Evangelism proposals for 2011, and the perennial challenge of safe and accessible storage of departmental materials.
