The diocese’s Congregational Business Consultants will offer workshops on congregational business practices and audits on three Saturdays early in 2010.  These workshops are aimed at treasurers, especially new ones, but should be of interest to all clergy and lay people who have business responsibilities in congregations, including wardens and other vestry members. 

A session on parish audits follows the business practices workshops and is aimed at leaders involved in the annual audit process in small congregations. 

The workshops take place 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (with audit session from 1 to 2 p.m.) on these Saturdays: 

• Feb. 27 at St. Mary’s Church (3055 Main Street) in Barnstable;
• March 13 at the Parish of St. Paul (1135 Walnut Street) in Newton Highlands; and
• March 20 at Emmanuel Church (5 Bryant Street) in Wakefield.

Cost is $25 per person; register online at www.diomassevents.org.
