WHAT SHOULD I DO?

           

            I wanted to write about some resources that are the United Methodist Upper New York Conference’s website (unyumc.org). There are two additional videos under the Church Chat section of the conference website: one on Finance and one on stewardship. Each is about half an hour.

 

            I think, as we have just finished our church’s Charge Conference or just finishing it up, that there are new people joining your finance committee or there’s a new Finance chair, or a new Treasurer, bookkeeper or Financial Secretary, now is the time to become more informed.

            Some of this stuff can be difficult to understand, particularly for new people. I encourage a couple of things for your new folks (and even your current people):

1.    Print the pdf (or buy a booklet) of the Finance and Stewardship Guidelines. The information is informative and the new guidelines are out for the 2020/2024 Book of Discipline.

2.    Encourage your folks to watch the Finance and Stewardship Leadership Videos under the Church Chat section of the Conference website.

3.    There are also several very short (3 – 5 minute) videos on several topics, i.e. W-2s, 1099s, UMPIP withholding, etc.

If you have specific questions that aren’t answered in the videos, or the Guidelines, please feel free to contact me.
