To all pastors and recording stewards of the Birmingham Region:

This notice is to inform you of some important information you need to know concerning your pastor’s report for the 2010-11 Annual Conference. Elder Rainey received this guidance from Bishop Snorton and we are to follow these items below as listed.

1. July 10, 2011, the last Sunday before Annual Conference for the Birmingham Region, is the cutoff date for information on your pastor’s reports (this includes all money paid or received)

2. When calculating the pastor’s pension (12%), you are only to calculate the amount paid to the pastor during this conference year. This includes all income received from August 8, 2010 to July 10, 2011. It is not determined by the pastor’s salary but by the amount paid to the pastor during that conference year.

3. Your membership totals should be based on the numbers you report at your 4th Quarterly Conference (QC). Do not count any members gained or lost if it occurs after your 4th Quarterly Conference (QC): count from 4th QC 2010 through 4th QC 2011.

If you have any questions concerning this, please contact me by email at or call me at (205) 907-8885.
