Grace in the DesertThe Episcopal Church

Episcopal Diocese of Nevada
Finance Ministry
The Finance Ministry consists of several elements at Grace in the Desert. The Vestry and its Finance Committee take the leadership roll, approving budgets and expenditures, signing contracts and approving projects. The Finance Committee prepares budgets, makes recommendations to the vestry and reviews all financial requests and reports. Stewardship is a year-round concern of the Vestry and Finance Committee.
The Treasurer prepares financial reports, reimburses groups and members, and pays the bills in a timely fashion.
The Finance Committee meets each month before the vestry meeting and reviews the Treasurer’s reports for the past month. This saves the Vestry a lot of time. Both the Ministry chair and the Treasurer are available at Vestry meetings to answer questions.
The Vestry has charged the Ministry with the responsibility of creating the next year’s budget and tracking the current budget. The Priest in Charge, the Senior Warden, and the Treasurer attend the Finance Committee meetings.

Escrip is an online service where members can register at certain businesses and Grace receives a small percentage of each purchase.

We will soon be adding an EScrip-link to Amazon.com with the hope that people will shop Amazon.com through the Grace site to order books and services.
