I think people mean well. I think very few people intentionally and knowingly set out
January Calendar
to withhold their tithes. But it happens for a variety of reasons. You forget to bring a
check some Sunday. You go away on vacation for a few weeks. Things get a little tight financially, so you hold
back temporarily. But before you know it the missed giving opportunities add up.
This is why I signed up for E-giving through Wrightsville Hope. Now I dont have to worry if I forget a check one
week. I dont have to double up on checks if I am gone through the summer. I know that my actual giving will
line up with my intended
giving. When I see my end of the year giving statement, I dont need to be
embarrassed.
I am not asking you to think about giving more this year. I am asking you to think about giving differently. Will
you consider e-giving? All it takes is one simple form giving us permission to authorize your giving. You choose
the amount. You choose the frequency (at this point you can chose once or twice a month). You decide when it
starts and you can even decide when it ends. You will submit a cancelled check with your form so that we can
verify all the information. Once your first offering is processed, we return the check to you and black out
financial information on the form you submit. Forms are kept in a secure location.
E-giving benefits you in that it enables you to be intentional about giving what you want. You determine your
level of generosity rather than it depending on the whims of the moment. E-giving benefits the church by helping
to stabilize the giving base.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Sincerely,
Pastor James

A donation box will be at each soup, and if you would like to drop some coins (or dollar bills) into the soup box that you liked,
