Audit Team Member Needed

An additional volunteer is needed to be part of the St. Luke audit team. The role of the audit team is to “perform an independent evaluation of the financial records and the internal controls of the congregation for the purposes of providing an opinion on the reasonableness of the congregation’s financial statements and recommending improvements to its internal controls” (from the ELCA Congregational Audit Guide). Members of the audit team can work on the audit independently, on their own schedule, and this role requires only minimal meeting time. If you are willing to volunteer for this important role, please see Al Nordquist or contact me at [email protected] or at (860) 572-0599.

Easter Flowers sign up sheet is available on the bulletin board outside of the fellowship hall. Choice of lily, tulip, or daffodil. $16 for lilies, $12.50 for tulips & daffodils. Last day to order is 3/24.
