Streamlining FBCD 2013
FAMILY GIVING NUMBERS
Families will soon receive their new and permanent family giving number. These numbers will correspond to your giving records and will NOT change from year to year. As long as you are a member of FBCD, this will be your number. A newly formatted blank envelope will soon be provided and will ensure that our offering envelopes last through the years and will reduce the need to order individual envelopes each year. GIVING RECORDS All family members present on a single Member Profile will use the same family number, and the families giving will be recorded on ONE Giving Record. For example if I (Logan Beatty) am filed under my own family number (1234), any donations my daughter or I give to the church will appear on my Giving Record. If I am filed under my dad’s Member Profile, all donations both I and Riley would give to the church would appear on his Giving Record. Please be sure to file separate Member Profiles if separate Giving Records are needed. CHURCH MAILING LIST The church office sends church materials to all who are on the mailing list. There are a few people who have not responded to any inquiries from the church for years. Removing disinterested folks will free the use of stamps/paper/time. The office will be sending out one last reminder asking these folks to respond if they would like to CONTINUE to receive communications from the church. If they do not, they will be removed from the mailing list. SAVE A STAMP To reduce the costs of our monthly mailings the office will begin E-mailing as many correspondences as possible (FOCUS Newsletters, Pastor Updates, Meeting reminders, Lay Leader/Worship Leader letters, etc….).Please ensure the office always has an up-to-date e-mail address for you. Materials that were usually mailed will also be available in the Narthex on Sundays. The PhoneTree will also be utilized more often to make congregation wide announcements. If you do not have an e-mail address, traditional mailing will still be available by request; we are just trying to reduce our expenditures on stamps/paper/ mailing materials. REQUISITION SUBMISSION When submitting receipts for church purchases, please remember to identify the following: 1. Which committee/person made the purchase. 2. What line item(s) the purchase should be applied to. 3. How much to apply to each line item (if more than 1.) This applies, when you are submitting for reimbursement, requesting that the purchase be applied to your giving record, or so it can be held for invoicing (when the Church’s credit card is used). Without ALL of this information, the office is unable to do what it needs to do so that purchases are properly recorded. Thank you. |

Fellowship Hall Refrigerator
If you put anything in the refrigerator in the fellowship hall, please label it with your name and the date. This will help the folks who clean it know what needs to be kept or thrown away.
Missing CD-R's
While documenting and archiving
the recorded CD's of the Sunday Services of 2012, it was noted that a few discs
were missing,
Those in question are: 1/22 - "This Is The Day" 2/12 - "Through It All" 2/19 - "Day By Day 2/26 - "People Get Ready" 3/25 - "Worthy Is The Lamb" 6/10 - "God Is Good" 11/18 - "Behold Now" 12//2 - "I Came To Praise" 12/23 - Children's Christmas Pageant Perhaps it was a special occasion, a song or Pastor's Message that made you listen one more time. If you need a copy, see Mike Kuptz and he can return a copy to you within a week. We need the originals for our files so we can move ahead in 2013!
