Another Way to Give
Our church provides a
giving option that has become a great convenience for a growing
number of our members – the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or
Electronic Contribution program. The program works in the same
manner as the programs offered by local gas, electric, insurance
and mortgage companies.
Authorization forms are available at the Information Desk in
the narthex and from the church office. You choose a donation
frequency: weekly, semimonthly, or monthly. Indicate the amount
of the contribution for each of the funds you wish to support on
the authorization form. Complete the section for your bank
account information, sign the form and return it to the church
office or place it in the offering plate and we will arrange for
your savings or checking account to be debited as you select.
Important Benefits of
Electronic Contribution Program
The program yields significant benefits for our church and
makes life easier for you:
Ø
The satisfaction of giving to God first
Ø
Easier personal budgeting
Ø
No need to write checks or bring cash to church
Ø
More secure than checks
Ø
Peace of mind knowing that the church is receiving
your contribution even if you are unable to attend
Ø
All contributions are recorded for you on your bank
statement with date of settlement
Ø
Less work for church volunteers in processing the
collections
Ø
A more predictable income flow for better planning
Traditional
Choices Remain
Electronic Contribution participants can place
a card in the offering plate that says “I Give Electronically” as a
symbol of the contribution they’ve already made. These cards are
available in the pew envelope holders.
If you do not currently use envelopes, please
consider participating in either our envelope program or the
Electronic Contribution program. Our church needs your regular
support.
Please contact Jim Knowlden, Finance Chairman
(322-6939), if you have any questions or need additional
