ENVELOPE CONTRIBUTIONS Thu 25 February 2010
There has been some discussion in relation to replacing the Count Teams on Sunday nights with a small group who would count the money, log it directly into the computer data base and lodge it into the bank on a week day. This would involve setting up a few small groups to count the money received in envelopes for FWO, Property, United Appeal etc.
* *
I would be available to log the money into the computer and also train team members to deputise for me when I would be on holiday.
If you would be interested in being part of one of these teams I would be grateful if you would sign the sheet at the information table or speak to me personally, the Church Office number is 93350926. Thanks Jim Bodles
