MINISTERIAL SERVICES
As explained in the February 12th Pastor's Report, the Church Division,
along with all other areas in the Work, has had to make substantial
budget cuts in order to bring projected expenses into line with
expected income. The bulk of the cuts were made in the Festival,
Human Potential and Y.O.U. departments rather than the field. How
ever, we do not feel even those cuts made in the f.ield budget will
impair the basic ministerial function.s.
The largest single item cut from the budget was the amount budgeted
for salary increases next July. This will
feet all the employees
within the Church Division including the field ministry. We felt
you should be aware of this so that you could plan your personal
budgets accordingly.
As mentioned last week, funds for the purchase of office furniture
and equipment were cut. Therefore, we will not be able to fill those
requests for furniture and equipment that have been received.
Another item that was eliminated was money for tuition reimbursement
and the purchase of books. If any of you find yourself in a real
bind because you made commitments based on what you were told pre
viously, please let us know and we will do what we can to help.
One last area that needs to be addressed is the Church Assistant Fund.
No budget cuts were made in this area; however, we do want to be as
careful as possible to limit expenses in this area to necessary items.
Some have asked whether or not they could still write checks on the
Central Clearing Account. The answer is yes, but please use it only
for genuinely serious needs and do not use it at all for ministerial
or church expense items.
As a final note, will the minister who sent in an inactive member
status card on Mrs. Kelly Scott please send in another card? The
first card was sent in incomplete--without the minister's name--rnaking
it impossible,for us to determine the church area.
