Giving Goes Green

Electronic giving provides convenience for frequent check writers and donation consistency.  A less frequently discussed benefit of electronic giving is its positive impact on the environment.  An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing and disposal of paper checks.   As you consider the payment method you use to make your regular offering, we hope that you will think about the unique connection between financial stewardship and environmental stewardship.  Forms to sign up for electronic giving can be found HERE, in the narthex near the bulletin boards, or in the parish office.
