Peace Lutheran Church Offering Counters 

Offering Counter Tips

·            Memorial Checks need to be listed individually on a separate “Memorial” sheet so we can acknowledge the gift.  If you take copies of the checks, you don’t have to write out all of the addresses.

·            Designated Checks are sometimes confusing, just write whatever info you have on the count sheet and put any supporting detail (check stub letter, etc) in my box with that weeks count sheet.  If there are a lot of checks for the same designation (i.e. Hymnals), just take copies of the checks and I can post them to the right person.

·            Loose Cash goes on the line so labeled – it’s after the section for envelops and before the loose checks are listed.

·            Loose Checks can be for anything.  If there is an indication of the purpose, just note that on the count sheet.  If the check doesn’t say anything, just mark it as Operating Fund.  Please make sure there is a first name on checks where we have members with the same names (Johnson, Sorenson, etc)

·            Tying out Totals – after you get the count sheet to tie out (both down each column and across the bottom, make sure the total ties to the cash and checks that you are putting in the deposit bag.
