OUR FINANCIAL POLICY
The collection and administration of the finances of this Church are based upon three fundamental principles. We believe
I. That systematic giving is better than occasional and impulsive benevolence.
2. That the work of the Church is essentially the same, whether it is carried on within this parish or outside its limits.
3. That everybody who receives the benefits of the Church should count it a privilege to help in its work.
We depend upon three sources of income :
I. The pew-rents, which are collected by the Treasurer of the Trustees.
2. Offerings made in envelopes by those who have pledged regular weekly contributions toward the work of the Church, which are collected by the Treasurer of Session.
3. Money received from plate collections and occasional subscriptions, which are collected by the Treasurer of Session.
Each year, the Trustees prepare a budget of the probable expenses of this Church for the ensuing year. Since our regular expenses amount to more than the total of the pew rents, a portion of the envelope sub- scriptions sufficient to meet this budget is appropriated by the Session. We do not believe in deficits. The funds that remain after our own expenses are paid are then apportioned by the Session to the Boards of th Presbyterian Church the Albany City Mission and other well-established agencies of missionary and benevolent effort. In this apportionment, the ratios suggested by the General Assembly are taken as a normal standard.
This being our financial plan, the Session asks the members of the congregation for regular and liberal contributions through the envelope system, so that special appeals from the pulpit for occasional offerings to various worthy causes may be avoided. We aim, in short, to sub- stitute fidelity for impulse, and to make our benevolence regular and well-considered.
Obviously, this plan would be a failure unless it were conscientiously supported. Both in the giving and in the expending there must be an earnest desire to act as good stewards of the gifts of God. The Session therefore asks every member of the congregation to consider the duty and privilege of taking a regular and conscientious share in supporting the work we are trying to do, by making an offering through the envelope system upon which we may depend, promising in return a scrupulous regard for the highest interests of the Kingdom of God on earth in the administration of the offerings thus made.
