2006 audit recommendations

(1) Appropriate tax forms issued to all persons receiving payments that total 
$600 or more

(2) After each month’s bank reconciliation is balanced on the computer, report 
needs to be printed and filed with monthly statement

(3) After end of year reports are completed, gather all invoices, bank records, 
tax records, deposit slips, contribution records, etc and organize all financial 
records.

File securely at the church by year end.  This should include hard copies and 
backup disks.  These procedures have been followed but not kept at the church 
because the church has no office and no secure/accessible place to keep them.

(4) Eliminate the miscellaneous category as much as possible

Report on Ministry Review and Evaluation was also discussed and will be 
presented to the congregation with a full explanation of its contents and the 
congregation will be asked to complete the form and return . 

PASTORS REPORT
It has been decided that the monthly Council Meetings will be the 3^rd Thursday of  each month. The possibility of joint Lenten Services with St Thomas was not acceptable with  there congregation.  In lieu of that, Pastor suggested a theme of FINDING GOD IN THE DARK for us with a movie, pot luck and discussion after.  It was decided to have the movie on Sunday afternoons at 4PM (movie will be family orientated so that children can attend). The first movie will be February 25^th.

NEW BUSINESS

A motion was brought to the floor by Robin Koester to have Pastor Kurt shop and purchase a power-point projector for the church with maximum value of $1200.  The motion was seconded by Kim Collicott. All were in favor.

Motion to adjourn by Larry Clark, seconded by Chuck Mills. 9:35PM
