Report to Vestry
Envelope Secretary 2016

All donations and weekly offerings have been posted and tallied to each parishioner’s account for the year ending 2016.  216 tax receipts have been mailed. (140 envelope holders and 76 non envelope series 800 & 900).  This number covers St Johns and Christ Church Drayton.

Over the past year 160 tax receipts were issued for donations received from visitors throughout the year.

Pre-Authorized Payment Plan contributors have increased to 49 participants.  I would encourage you to consider this plan for your financial contributions.  This plan is consistent and will enable our council and clergy to plan and budget for the future. Forms are available at the back of the church or feel free to contact me.

In September the Wardens requested statements to be mailed to all parishioners.  This would enable us to update our givings for the year. All Statements were mailed the last week of September.

Over the past three years I have submitted a monthly report to the Parish Centre Committee reporting the monthly pledges for their perusal.  Reports were also submitted to the Warden on our Kenya Scholarship program.

Over the past year we have added a 3rd team to our counters. We now are able to rotate every three weeks.  I personally want to extend my thanks to them for their weekly dedication of collecting the offerings, (from every service, Christmas 5+) and recording and banking all funds.

Please feel free to contact me if you require further information regarding your donations or information on your tax receipt.

Respectfully submitted,
Barbara A. Gow
Envelope Secretary
