Finance Facts from the Finance Committee – September 2017

Most pledge payments are dropped in the offering bags each Sunday, but sometimes we don’t make it to church on Sunday. This creates a need to remember when to write a monthly check for our monthly pledge payment. You can order monthly checks sent from your bank’s bill paying system, or you can have the church order monthly payments for you (See instructions below.)
The benefit to you is you have one less task to remember and one less check to write each month. The benefit to the church is that your pledge payments will match your pledged amount, and that will reduce the accounting tasks and follow up phone calls needed to balance the church books.
Our most important financial goal is to increase annual pledges by approximately $40,000 per year by April 2019 when the 2019-2020 budget will be constructed. This is an average monthly increase of $16 per pledger.
You can change your future pledge amount at any time by notifying Jennifer Seale, UUCV Office Administrator, at 805/644-3898, extension 100 or administrator@uuventura.org. You can make one time donations or set up automatic pledge payments at www.uucv.org , by clicking on “Give” on the right side of the masthead area, click on the picture of the mouse and follow the instructions; or contact David Smith at 805/216-9331 or davidpaseo@verizon.net.
