Rector’s Remarks
At this time of year, churches are in the midst of the annual stewardship campaign. It’s the way the church family
shows its financial support for the ministries to be done in the coming year. To those people who have never worked
on a stewardship campaign, or served on the vestry or as wardens or counters, the stewardship season and the
emphasis on pledge cards for the coming year may be confusing. But I’ve found that another area equally confusing
to people is how exactly the church funds itself, and what is done with the money collected week by week in the
plates.
To begin with, a pledge filled out and returned to the church at this time of year enables the budget committee of the
vestry to plan the budget for 2015. The pledge returns give an idea of the amount of financial support the church can
expect from its members. Some members give regularly but do not fill out and return a pledge card. There is no
reliable way to factor this support into the budget for the coming year. The Office Manager enters the amount
pledged for the coming year in a statement file so the financial support can be compiled on a giving statement for use
in figuring out your taxes. It lists the amount of charitable giving, (financial contribution to the church) for the
current year. People with envelopes receive the same statement. The budget committee is then given the total pledge
figure for use in budget forecasting. This may not be news to you so far.
But the question comes often, what happens to the money we put in the plate every Sunday? Where does that go?
Imagine that you have just placed your giving envelope in the collection plate as the usher has come to your pew.
The envelopes and cash are secured after each service, unopened. After the 9:30 am service on Sunday, the secured
envelopes and cash are taken by members of the parish who serve as counters and are counted at church. Two
counters and sometimes three are present to ensure accuracy of recording and addition. All checks are stamped for
deposit only and along with the counted cash, special gifts and collections of the day are tallied on a counter’s sheet.
This tally must agree with the register tape used in tabulation and the deposit ticket made out and sealed in a tamper
proof deposit bag for the bank. The collection bag is taken to the bank’s night deposit, where the next business day
the bank counts the deposit and notifies the parish that the deposit has been recorded. Meanwhile, the counter’s
sheet showing the general deposit amount is copied to the Office Manager, Treasurers, Wardens and Rector for
information. The Office Manager enters the amounts from the envelopes in the financial statement record, the
treasurer uses the counter’s sheet to check against the deposit amount and administer the checkbook. The Wardens
and Rector monitor the counter’s sheet for anomalies and general information. The counter’s sheets do not list
individual giver’s names.
If you send your check by email or by mail, when it is received by the office, the Office Manager secures it to be
included in the next week’s Sunday count. All pledges and gifts made to St. George’s must be recorded and
accounted for. It all gets counted, and it is all used in the spirit in which it is given. And in the middle of it all, we
remember to say our prayers.
-Fr. Henry

Deacon’s Thoughts
By Scott Underhill
1 Corinthians 11:23-24. Paul writes: “For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus
on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my
body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” This is the earliest reference to the Lord’s supper provided in
the New Testament, written around 54 to 55 AD, or 20 years after Jesus death. During our worship service, we
gather and celebrate just as those early Christians did shortly after Jesus’ resurrection. At St. George’s, during the
school year, we are blessed with Sunday Bakers, those that bake the loaves we use at the altar during weekend
services that, after consecration by the priest, become the body of Jesus.
As deacon of the table, I am responsible for determining how much bread to set out for the priest to consecrate.
During the offertory, the ushers bring up a sheet of paper letting me know how many people are present. The size
and quality of the loaves of bread vary each week, depending on the recipe and diameter the bakers use. Typically, a
loaf is four inches in diameter and has a cross cut through the center, sectioning the loaf into four equal pieces when
broken. As a rule, each piece can be broken into five or six pieces, so a loaf can be distributed to 20 to 24 people. For
simplicity in math, I use 25 people per loaf, so if there are 100 people at a service, consecration of four loaves should
be sufficient.
In practice, however, if the bread comes out light or heavy, larger or smaller, the piece of bread you receive will vary.
So, if you happen to get a small piece or large piece, now you know why. We are not trying to skimp or fatten, we
are trying to equally distribute the body of Jesus without having excess at the end of the service, since any leftover
bread/body must be consumed by the altar servers. That is the science behind how the body of Jesus is distributed to
the body of the church. Hopefully you won’t get caught up in the size or texture or moistness of the bread, but
realize in the mystery of the church you are receiving Jesus himself, just as he said “This is my body which is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
Haiti Update
St. George’s continues to support our partner church of St. Jacques and St. Philippe in
Corosse, Haiti along with the other churches in the Albany Diocese and their partners
down in Haiti. St. George’s support comes in the form of tuition and supplies to the
school. Each month, St. George’s sends down $500 to pay for the students tuitions.
Presently, between 100 and 125 students go to school because of these funds. In
addition, funds are also sent down on an as need basis to pay for basics, such as benches,
blackboards, notebooks and chalk. On October 4, a tag sale was held at St. George’s that
raised over $1,800. Half of this money will go to support our Haiti partnership, the other
half will go to the work in the neighboring Dominic Republic. In addition to the school
support, St. George’s is also working the leaders of Corosse to begin an agricultural
nursery program, to grow food (cassava), fruit trees (mangos) and lumber (elm) from
seeds to seedlings that the students can then plant at home.
Outside of the partnership in Corosse, St. George’s has also been active in assisting To
Love A Child in their partnership in Rantlamouaie. If you recall, in May and June of this
year, Josh Fogel and his boyscout troop, along with several members of St. George’s,
constructed a latrine which was shipped in a cargo container to Haiti. In July, I went
down to Haiti while the cargo container was in transit and had the pit and foundation
built for the latrines. In September, several others went down to Haiti and had the
latrine constructed and made functional. Thanks to all who support the efforts of
bringing the Love to Jesus to others in a real and practical way.

ALTAR GUILD MINISTRY
By Doris Halvorsen
I am a cradle Episcopalian. When I was a child, my mother was a member of our local Episcopal Parish
Altar Guild. Our church had a brass Lectern and Pulpit, that twice a year needed polishing. When they
started the Jr. Altar Guild, I joined, not realizing that part of our job would be to provide the labor needed
to do that tedious polishing! I still remember the many hours spent on those projects. It did instill a love
for a quiet ministry though, and it has remained a way to remember those times I shared with my
mother. Those of us in this ministry, enjoy doing things quietly and in the background. It is a way to give
back to the church on the terms that are right for us. I enjoy coming in on the weekends that I serve to
quietly reflect and pray as I do the chores needed to prepare for our weekend services. It is not heavily
time consuming, but is greatly rewarding in keeping my faith. Our members work approximately once a
month in small teams at the service they normally attend, setting up for the service and clearing it
afterwards with some additional housekeeping chores. Additionally, as a group, we help prepare the
church for the liturgical holidays, especially the Christmas and Easter seasons.
Over the years that I have been involved with this ministry, I have formed a warm, close bond with other
members of our group. There is always room for new members, at all of the services, but especially at the
9:30 service where we have lost members recently because of job transfers and illness, which has left that
service short handed .If you want more information or wish to join, please talk to or contact Abby Bee
(bhive6@gmail.com) or Doris Halvorsen (davhlv@aol.com) or talk to any Altar Guild member.
