URGENT APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES AND MEMBERS OF THE PRESBYERY OF TAMPA BAY

FROM THE FUTURE OF THE PRESBYTERY TASK FORCE

Good Friends: Your presbytery is in a very serious financial situation, and faced with making decisions that will significantly impact how we do our ministry.

Enclosed is Part 1 of the report of the Future of the Presbytery Task Force. It outlines recommendations for the implementation of measures that your committee believes our presbytery must take immediately -at the May 28 meeting- if we are to stay financially solvent. Much of the budget of our presbytery is based on mission funds sent to the presbytery. We are in need of $200,000 in order to balance the budget for 2009.

REPORT OF THE FUTURE OF THE PRESBYTERY TASK FORCE

PART 1

The Presbytery of Tampa Bay, in light of the serious financial situation of the presbytery, voted at the December meeting to direct Moderator Helen Huntley to appoint a task force to report back to the May, 2009 presbytery meeting on three specific issues: a vision for who we will be as a presbytery, a recommended staffing model needed to support this restructuring and a recommended balanced budget for the remainder of 2009 to fund this vision.

Those appointed to this task force are: John "Mike" Loudon (chair), Steve Negley, Al MacKenzie, Pat Shiflett, Becky Burton, Will Davidson, Rebekah Maul, Bob Keith, John DeBevoise and Jean Reed.
