PHCPC is preparing to do a full financial review of all books and records relating to finances. The primary purpose of the review is to insure good financial procedures and to help the congregation have confidence and trust in the stewardship of their contributions. It reasonably verifies the reliability of financial reporting, determines whether assets are being safeguarded, and whether the law and procedures are being complied with.
We are looking for church volunteers to perform this financial audit. We are looking for a committee of members versed in accounting procedures with auditing/accounting experience, and who have time to devote to the tasks at hand. Experiences should include auditing rules, regulations, and internal controls.
If interested in volunteering your time, expertise, and effort, please contact Cindy Wozniak, Business Manager, via email at moc.hcruhcsllihtnasaelpnull@ydnic or by phone at 412-655-2000 x132.

Sunday, January 29, 2012, the Annual Congregational Meeting will be held after the 10:00 AM combined worship service in the Great Room. There will be a number of positions to be voted on.
The names of nominees for Deacons, Elders, Congregational Nominating Committee and Pastoral Nominating Committee have been placed on the web church web site, along with pictures and brief biographical information (where available). To access this information, click on the above links or click on the word “Candidates” in the menu bar.
In the past, the names of nominees were presented at the Annual Congregational Meeting. This year, the names were made available to the congregation before the meeting, along with photographs and a brief biogrphy. This is a learning process for the Congregational Nominating Committee, the Staff and the candidates themselves.
Please Note: There are nine positions open for the Pastoral Nominating Committee, not four as was stated in the print version of February’s Encouraging Word and early digital copies of February’s Encouraging Word. The online version has been corrected. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused–Rob Carr, Director of Communications.
