Because the church is converting from bookkeeping by hand to an accounting software, and because our financial leadership does not yet have access to all of that, I began to record transactions on the ...read more

    Smyrna: Some Things Money Cannot Buy Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2003
    based on 30 ratings
