Statement of Purpose
It is the responsibility of this committee to decide how monetary contributions received from members and friends of the congregation are used, with the approval of the Congregation Council necessary for any expenditure over $200.
Activities
The committee keeps an accurate record of all gifts received and acknowledges the gifts given to the family of the one memorialized and to the giver of the gift. Gifts over $100 are entered into the Memorial Gifts book in the narthex. All designated gifts must be approved by the Congregation Council before being accepted and acknowledged. The committee keeps a list of needs that could be met through the Memorial Gifts. Committee also makes available gift cards in the local funeral homes at the time of visitation so people can take and send them to the family.
Nature of Group Membership
Members of the committee are appointed by the president of the Congregation Council. There are no terms of office.
