New Digital Instrument

New Members and Church Membership

Allison Kirkpatrick, Harry Baker, and Steve Gardner .
Pre-Authorized Remittance of Givings
Contact any Steward
Some of you have heard about our PAR program or Pre-authorized remittance. For those of you not aware, you can arrange with the United Church of Canada and your bank to have a specific amount of money withdrawn from your account each month. The money, your monthly offering, will go dorectly to the church's local fund to support daily operations.
There are benefits with this arrangement. You benefit by not needing to find your offering envelopes each week before you head off to church. You also benefit by not having to 'double up' your offerings if you are away for a period of time to catch up your planned offerings. The main benefit for your church is that it helps provide a regular, steady flow of funds, especially during the summer months when some people are away and offerings on the plate would typically be reduced.
A number of families and individuals are onthe PAR program presently. If you would like to find out more about this program or you would like to sign up, please contact any steward. Your information relating to PAR will remain confidential.
