This Sunday's Coffee & Conversation Materials: Time to Act! (led by Sam Smalldon)

9/28/2017

0 Comments

 
This Sunday, October 1, 2017, Sam Smalldon will lead a discussion on the topic of World Church Finances. Please review his note below, the memo from the Presiding Bishopric, and the important documents prior to this Sunday's conversation. 

To the Congregation:
​
It is our hope by sending this out in advance of the Sunday morning conversation it will help everyone to have time to read and have a good understanding of the communications, the message, and the request in hopes that discussion will build on this for better understanding and any desire from the Congregation to participate in the request being made.  
 
Also, please note as a reminder, we will follow up this discussion on October 1, 2017, with another opportunity for Coffee and Conversation on Sunday, October 22, 2017, at 10 a.m. to discuss Local Church Finances in preparation for the annual budget for 2018. 
 
We are hoping to be open and transparent as well as provide time for vigorous discussion of these topics as they are relevant and timely. We look forward to a good discussion; both to increase awareness and help answer any questions or hear the concerns or issues that arise.  
 
If there are any questions in advance please contact me directly anytime. 
 
Thank you - 

Sam
(Interim) Calgary CFO

​Please review the following memo sent from the Presiding Bishopric to Financial Officers as well as the important documents:

Memo from Presiding Bishopric

To: Congregational Financial Officers in the USA and Canada
​

We hope you were able to join the webcast for President Steve Veazey’s address to the church. If you were not, the video is available with the text and Q&A on the Community of Christ website.
 
We thought it would be helpful to have an overview of the address and some action steps your congregation can take. We hope you will find opportunity to share this information and that as a community you will choose to act.
 
If we can provide any other information that will be helpful to you, please feel free to contact us. We are attaching some sample resolution forms for use if your congregation votes to provide funds from an Affiliate Investment Pool account to Worldwide Mission Tithes.
 
As always we are so grateful for all you do in support of the church and Christ’s mission.
 
Onward!
​
The Presiding Bishopric

Herald House Website Updated

9/14/2017

0 Comments

 
The publishing arm of Community of Christ has a fresh, new face at www.HeraldHouse.org, with everything from lessons to apparel.

The new website has a clean, easy-to-use design and secure checkout. The site is well organized and customers can create accounts, rate products, and add comments. It is designed to view on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Responding to a frequent request, one component will provide access to free resources created by members for worship, education, reunions, and other activities. To share materials, click the Member Created link on the top menu. Instructions there tell how to upload resources for consideration.

“This will be a fantastic way to give the church greater access to resources that might not otherwise be seen or used outside the congregation that created them,” said Apostle Janné Grover, team leader for Disciple and Priesthood Formation.

The new website will have shipping and handling fees based on shipping costs, where the former site’s fees in most cases were based on total order amounts. Missouri congregations that set up an account on the new website must contact [email protected] prior to placing their first order so that merchandise can be tax exempt.
