Magazine/Book/Music
Fundraiser
Order and renew your
magazines online, and 40% of the proceeds go to benefit the
church:
This is an ongoing
program. The church will get a check for each month that there
is at least $20 in payment due to us--so you don't need to save your
renewals, just renew online here or buy new subscriptions for yourself
or as gifts whenever it makes sense for you to do so.
You can also purchase
some books and music as well as cookie dough through this site.
Electronic
Giving
Would you find it
helpful to have your offerings debited directly from your bank account, as
you may already be doing for other routine payments?
Well, we now have an electronic giving option for those of you who
wish to have your regular contributions transferred electronically to the
church's account. When you
travel, this can be particularly helpful in keeping up with your pledge
payments.
To participate, simply fill out this authorization form, attach a voided
check, and either give it to or mail it to Fred Smith, Financial
Secretary.
The form
allows you to specify the donation amount, when it is to start, and how
often it will be repeated. Once
started, the donations will continue automatically until you instruct us
to stop.
