Stewardship: Electronic Donations
Every now and then it’s good to remind people of some of the programs in place here at Church of the Apostles. The Stewardship Commission has made it possible for you to sign up for Electronic Funds Transfers from your checking account directly into the church’s checking account. It’s one more detail you can get off your mental check list.  Ask the office for the application form. You determine how much and how often you want to give to the church, and the two banks take care of the details. Your donation arrives on time, every time. This helps the church budget, it smooths out the peaks and valleys of giving, and it relieves you of another detail to remember to do. Try it out soon. We think you’ll like it.
