4.0 May 2007 Financial Report

When I was in Burkina Faso with my sister this summer, I learned the saying "Doni doni kono nita niama" which means, in Jula (the language of the Jula people who live in Bobo Dioulasso), "Slowly, slowly the little bird builds its nest." This had become a bit of a motto for me as I work on launching the website, and passing responsibility over to the organization, one twig at a time.

This is the first meeting of the 2007-08 season. We will be meeting in the Library, Metropolitan Centre.

The agenda is as follows:

Mandate

To oversee the operational budget and unencumbered funds of the congregation; to assist in securing contributions; and to approve the dispersal of money received for the day-to-day operations of the church. To develop and present to the Official Board for approval, the annual budget and to present the approved budget to the congregation, at the Annual General Meeting, for final approval.

Are you curious to know what the committees are up to?   Wondering how you might be able to get involved?

Join us after the 11:00am Service for Met's Stewardship Fair, where you can learn about what's going on at Met.

Each committee will have a poster and some folks to aswer questions, and we will have the computer room open for tutorials on the website.  Come and join the learning fun!
