On Palm Sunday we launched a new program to help raise funds for the church and also to raise awareness of all the behind the scenes costs that not everyone thinks of.
The bulletin board at the back of the church now contains envelopes for each month remaining this year (Apr -Dec) for 10 different bills we have. The envelope shows the monthly amount of that bill.
The idea is you take an envelope down and write your name on the label on the board behind it then put the amount of the bill in the envelope, fill in your name and put it on the collection plate. All money from these envelopes will be included in your yearly tax receipt just like your regular givings.
We still have about 5 more bills we couldn't fit on the board and we plan to create another board somewhere else in the building to add these.
Please check out the board the next time you are in church and see if there is a bill you can help with. It's an interesting and fun way to contribute a little extra to our wonderful place of worship!
