Karyn Lidbetter and Joe Crawford

approaching. In the past, everyone
has contributed in one way or another,
but we’d like to have a small
fundraising committee to oversee
things. Please consider it. Thank you.

FINANCIAL SECRETARY
POSITION
Very soon, the position of
Financial Secretary will be
available. This person receives,
records & deposits all money coming
into the church through collections,
fundraising, memorial and other
donations. Money from the collection
plate is counted after the service by
the Financial Secretary and one other
person chosen at random. The money
is recorded and deposited into Trinity’s
account at Pen Financial Credit Union.
This person also issues tax receipts for
donations that can be attributed to a
donor. This position also manages PAR
(Pre-Authorized Remittances).
Please speak with Leah Schatzline
(present Financial Secretary) or a
councillor for more information.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to Leah
Schatzline for holding the position of
Financial Secretary for the past few
years and doing the job well. Your
service is much appreciated. Best
wishes in your future!
VOLUNTEER SHEETS: Continuing in
the coming weeks, volunteer sheets
will be inserted, to seek helpers in the
many jobs which are needed at Trinity.
Please consider this form carefully &
prayerfully. WE NEED YOU. Thank
you.
