5 Disbursements/ Reimbursements Normal disbursements for St. Paul s accounts payable are normally done twice a month at the middle of the month and the end. Things like vacations and illness can cause changes in the planned schedule. If you have a ministry reimbursement form or time card to submit for payment please do so in a timely manner. Forms turned in after the 5 th of the month following the month the service or purchase was completed may result in payment being delayed until the next time AR (accounts receivable) are completed. Please do not hold onto any and all payment requests longer than 5-10 days as this results in monthly financial statements not showing an accurate view of finances. If you have any questions please contact our Bishop s Warden Cindy Smith. Sean and Patty are asking for a donation of a VACUUM for the EYF room. Thank you in ad- Yellow Bag Ministry Daughters of the King fill 40 bags each month with basic necessities for the homeless. This month we commented how the homeless were less visible due to the extreme heat. As a result we have asked Rueben, one of our security guards, to take the bags to an encampment. He reported that the homeless people sobbed and praised God upon receiving the bags. If you would like to be part of this ministry you may choose to donate materials or money. (It costs about $4 to fill 1 bag.) Contact Susan Barle. 5
