A Message from the Parish Treasurer All organizations within the parish that collect funds, fundraise or have any financial transitions, such as ACW, Men’s Club, CLB, etc. must produce annual financial statements for the Annual Report and Synod purposes. These statements must contain, at a minimum, a statement of Income and Expenses and either a Balance Sheet or a Cash Report depending on the organization. When calculating income for the year, it is important not to include the balance brought forward from the year before since our Synod Assessment is based on NET INCOME. It would also be helpful for organizations requiring funding from the Parish, to have a budget prepared for the coming year for overall parish budgeting purposes. We request that the above be submitted to the office no later than December 31st 2012.

Year End You are reminded that our financial records for 2012 will close on December 31st. ALL contributions must be in by that date to be used for your 2012 Income Tax purposes. Any monies received after December 31st will be credited to your account in 2013.

Penny Project Thank you to all those who continue to save pennies. Please have all your pennies in to be credited for 2012 by December 31th. For further information please call Sharon @ 834-4102.

The 2012 Fair, under Chairperson, John Carter, and with the assistance of many parish groups and volunteers, was successful and raised approximately $13,000 for parish ministries. Thank you to all church groups who contributed in numerous ways to help with the meals and the various sale of works. Thank you to all parishioners and friends of the parish who donated and made purchases during the Fair. Our Fall Fair brings us together socially and gives us a sense of community. It also gives us some needed financial resources to support God’s work within our church and beyond.
