1. Complete the Purchase Order Log, found in the church office workroom, using the next P.O. number. Then complete the Purchase Order form.
   
   
2. Place the completed form in the Administrator’s mailbox for approval.
   
   
3. After approval, make the purchase; submit the ticket/receipt/invoice to the Financial Secretary for processing payment.
   
   
4. Follow this same procedure if making purchases to be charged on the church Mastercard.

Procedures for check requests:

1. Fill out a Check/Reimbursement Request Form (available in the work room) and give to the Financial Secretary. Tuesday is the deadline for payment that week.
