Treasure the Treasurer
The Chester Diocese ‘Treasure the Treasurer’ Tour is coming your way to help reduce the administrative burden on those with the responsibility of managing the finances in our churches.
Assistant Accountant, Sharon Taylor-Booth who runs the Treasurers Network explains: “As a Diocese we’re aiming to celebrate the work of treasurers which is so often taken for granted. So, we’ve organised a series of roadshow dates for treasurers to meet each other in their deaneries and to discover together what systems are available to help save valuable time. This is an exciting opportunity to come along and find out what support is available in our continuing programme of learning events and networking activities.”
There will presentations from Data Developments, The Church Organiser, Parish Giving Scheme and Human Resources.
Sharon will be joined on the tour by Digital Giving Adviser, Bessia Kanengoni who said: “More and more churches are embracing cashless donations and experiencing increased income which is a huge benefit in these financially challenging times. At the Treasure the Treasure meetings, I’ll be sharing the tools and explaining my role in supporting churches to make the change.”
Bishop Julie said: “Without our treasurers and administrators making the money go round, our parishes simply wouldn’t exist. The team from Church House going out on the Treasure the Treasurers Tour builds on the already successful Treasurers Network which we run as a Diocese. These meetings are an expression of how much we value the ministry of the people doing these roles. We want to continue to support and empower them with tools to reduce the administrative burden and the hours involved in doing this valuable work.”
