Bulletin Announcement

Bulletin Version 1:

As a Church, we strive to be good stewards of our resources. Many families have moved away from envelopes and are now using electronic donations to fulfill their generous stewardship commitments to our church and the wider church. We have also found that many are not using their envelopes that we mail out. Help us to reduce our envelope and postage expense and at the same time support «CHURCH_NAME» in a secure and convenient way by enrolling in online giving. Please enroll in this program by picking up an enrollment form from the church office, or by visiting www.churchwebsite.net to enroll securely on line.

May God bless your stewardship to our parish community!

Bulletin Version 2:

Recently, we have introduced a new and exciting way for you to contribute online. With online giving, you can make regular automatic contributions to «CHURCH_NAME» using your credit/debit card or bank account, the same process that you may use to pay utility bills or make car payments.

Making your donations automatically means relief from the hassle of locating your offertory envelopes as you run out the door on Sunday morning, and guarantees that the church will receive your gifts even if you are unable to attend church. There is no fee for those that enroll. Automatic contributions greatly benefit «CHURCH_NAME» by providing a predictable cash flow as well as decreasing the time and money the church expends dealing with the envelope system. The system allows you to manage all aspects of your account and allows you to view online giving history.

Please enroll in this program by picking up an enrollment form from the church office, or by visiting www.churchwebsite.net to enroll securely on line.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.

God bless you.

Bulletin Version 4:

As you may know, we have recently introduced a new program for electronic offertory donations. This program has already had a positive impact on our Sunday collection. I am hopeful that you will join other members and sign up for this service. The program is a cost effective way for the church to receive donations. For every family that has signed up, we have been able to eliminate the cost of purchasing and mailing envelopes. This method has also reduced the handling of cash and checks and has proven to be a safe and secure method of making a church offering.

I share with you our concern about the economic situation in which we now find ourselves. We very much feel the impact of the present economy. I am tremendously grateful that members have remained consistent in their financial generosity to the church. Our increased enrollment will continue to stabilize our church finances. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 866-507-8757 (toll-free). To enroll in the program, pick up an enrollment form from the church office or visit www.churchwebsite.net to enroll securely on line.

God bless you.

Lent

During Lent, we focus our daily activities on growing closer to Christ through an increase in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It is a wonderful goal to try to extend some of the changes we make in our lives beyond the liturgical season.

Signing up for online giving is a great way to focus on almsgiving throughout the year. It is a secure and convenient way to make a conscious decision about your financial support of our many wonderful ministries. You can find paper enrollment forms in the church office, or you can sign up online at www.churchwebsite.net.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Bulletin Version 10:

Easter!

Christ is risen! As His disciples, we are called to go forth and spread the good news of Christ's Resurrection. The fruitful ministries at our church are examples of how many of you have answered, and continue to answer, that call. To ensure such work can continue requires not only gifts of time, but also of financial help. I ask you to prayerfully consider supporting our church with electronic donations. You can find paper enrollment forms in the church office, or you can sign up online at www.churchwebsite.net.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
«PASTOR»

Bulletin Version 11:

Summertime Giving

As you are probably aware, church attendance during the summer months tends to drop off as vacations and weekend sporting events often conflict. On the other hand, the services we provide within the church and for the larger community continue year round, as do their associated expenses. Thus, your consistent financial support of our church is vital to achieving our stewardship mission.

The easiest way to be sure that your gift of treasure reaches us, even when you can’t be here, is through enrollment in our electronic offertory program. If you have not yet enrolled, I encourage you to consider doing so this month. Once you have enrolled, you can relax knowing that «CHURCH_NAME» will receive your gifts throughout the summer.

Enrollment forms are available in the church office or you can visit our secure web site at www.churchwebsite.net to enroll online.

As always, know that your generosity is truly a gift from God.

God Bless You,

«PASTOR»
