Handling rentals for church and payment of custodians

[angel1]

Hello,
How do you handle payment for use of the church for events (weddings, funerals, paties,etc.). We also pay our custodians from the fees that are collected. How is that handled?

Another question, when checks are a part of the loose offering, do you make an envelope and assign an envelope number for that person?

Thanks

For weddings and events, we create a income account for each.

In Contributions, you can mark the Contribution Fund as "Services Received" or "Registration Fee" to separate them from tax deductible contributions on giving statements.

If we receive a check in the "loose cash", we create an envelope number for it, and send out a statement to the person at the end of the year.

Thank you. How would you handle payment of custodians who work these events, as their fee is included in the rental fee?

It doesn't matter how the money comes in, you either put them on the payroll, or pay them as a 1099 independent contractor.
