For information.
The People and Culture Committee and Church Council have consulted widely and discussed options with potentially affected people and Church Council has approved the following. Our Office will be closed over the Christmas New Year period from 27th December, 2017 until 5th January, 2018. Telephone messages left on the Church Office answering machine will be checked regularly and answered as soon as possible. We have contacted and advised all groups (both internal and external) as to these arrangements by email and personal contact. Church Office hours will be amended for the period 5th January to 22nd January, 2018 to 9.30AM-3.00PM after which we resume our usual hours.
8.2. Outreach Project Funds Allocation
At the Juiy meeting of the congregation, a suggestion was made to simplify the process for managing fete proceeds and allocation to outreach projects in future as follows:
- select outreach projects for the year;
- use past experience to set a fixed amount for agreed outreach projects; and
- then undertake fundraising to meet the target set.
The fete would be the major fund-raising initiative, but the shortfall would be made up by other fund-raising activities and if necessary, an allocation from the congregation's reserves. If in excess of the target were raised, this could be carried forward to the following year.
This was referred to the CommunityOutreach committee. Feedback may be available.
