Stated Clerk's Notes 12/11/25

Clerks of Session

On Friday, December 12, I will send an email with first of the year reports:

• Updated terms of call and contracts

• Clerk of Session, Treasurer, and church information form

• Necrology for 2025: Names of Ruling Elders (who were currently serving or resting) who died this year

• Information about the 2026 Annual Statistical Report. Please note that the Annual Statistical Report site is not yet open to churches. It will be open on January 2, 2026. 

Please inform me if you do not receive the email. I update the mailing list all year. I know things change all the time. I will send it again on January 2, 2026

It’s the end of the year!

Jeanne Morgan, our accountant, keeps me honest in the office, and she’s alerted me that I have vacation to take. I’ll do that next week, 12/15-19. The office will be closed from 12/22/25-1/2/26. 

I’ll be out of town 12/25-29. 

I will check email from time to time, but if you have a time sensitive matter, call me at 813-476-0233. 

It’s a pleasure to serve you as Stated Stated. It’s been a ride this year, but it looks like we started in one piece, and are ending that way! 🙂

For Your steadfast presence with us this year, thank You, Holy God. 

For forgiving our mistakes and passing over those in need, thank You.

For loving us when we were not lovable, thank You.

For giving us vision for the days ahead, thank You.

You are our heart, soul, and mind. All glory belongs to You.

Amen.
