It is that time of year again.  Thank you all for the hard work that resulted in substantial compliance with the 2010 records.  Our stated goal of 100% compliance can only be achieved with your help and cooperation.  The Annual Statistical reports to the General Assembly is now done electronically.  Therefore, you need to go online to access the forms and fill them out on-line.

The Annual Statistical Report and the Clerk’s Annual Questionnaire are only available online.  The forms should be submitted electronically beginning Friday, December 10, 2011, the link is http://ogasys2.pcusa.org.

Other documents that must be completed and returned are the Necrology Report and the Clergy Compensation Form.

All information and forms can be found by following the links below:

The official deadline for churches to submit their statistics to OGA is Wednesday, February 22, 2012.  I recommend you get your statistics done as early as possible to avoid the annual congestion on the online system.

If you cannot access the online system set up an appointment and come by the Presbytery office and enter your statistics from here.  We will have our annual statistics party on Saturday, January 28, 2012, for those who need assistance with the electronic filing.  I understand that these reports require a bit of time and organization.  This office stands ready to help you in any way it can.  Have a blessed holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the New Year.  May God continue to bless you and your work.
