Per Capita Games

I got another letter from church (Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville) today.

This one is from the Clerk of Session.  The session decided to ask the members to pay their per capita separate from their pledge in order to save the budget $18,000.  We were given an envelope in which to return the $22 per household person who is a member of the church (including confirmed children).

Here’s the interesting part.  Per capita for New Brunswick Presbytery in 2007 is $21.24.  I found that out from the presbytery website.

I will give the session the benefit of the doubt for making the amount easy to write and multiply out.  It’s also a tricky way to pay for the cost of sending out these letters (at 75 cents per member, that’s about $600).

I paid $21.24.
