Dumbo's Stewardship Lesson continued

From one of Dumbo's pastors,

If you see something that we regularly need that is worn out or used up, it is best to talk to someone who would know if the solution is already underway.

Elaine West is authorized to use the church credit card. She buys various church supplies on a fairly frequent basis and often knows what is underway.

Otherwise:

For any church property matters, the chair of the Facilities Standing Committee is Joe Mills. Robert West who has done this job in the past can also help you. Talk to Joe or Robert.

For Discipleship supplies, talk to Barbara Hale.

For Worship supplies, talk to Candy Scheller.

For Friendship and Hospitality supplies, talk to Mary Ann Bell.

For Compassion and Evangelism supplies, talk to Susan Krotz.

For Office supplies, talk to the Board Chair Loretta Tanner.

If you want to be helpful, just ask appropriate permission to purchase the item yourself.

If you buy it yourself, save your receipt and give it to Doug Carr who keeps the church check book (or put it in the treasurer's mail slot in the office). Write on the receipt or an attached note anything needed to clarify the nature of the purchase, and label it something like "Facilities Supplies," "Office Supplies" "Kitchen Supplies," "Worship Supplies," "Discipleship Supplies," etc. Doug will get a reimbursement check to you.

We actually prefer that you get reimbursed. This enables us to track the costs of our operations.

If you wish to cover the cost of something, it is better to get reimbursed and then simply put a little extra in the offering plate to cover it. This also makes it easier for you to claim your tax deduction.
