2020 PAR Challenge
We all know the members of First United love a good challenge - and always come through!
The Finance Committee is issuing a 2020 PAR challenge to the congregation, and the good news is, you don’t need to be a golfer to participate!
What is PAR?
It stands for Pre-Authorized Remittance – or monthly automated contributions to the church.
On the 20th of each month, money will automatically come out of your bank account and go towards the General Fund of our church. You also have the option of using your Visa or MasterCard.
No cheques to write, no envelopes needed.
How do I sign up?
Signing up is easy! Simply obtain a PAR authorization form from the office or our website and fill it out.
You will need either a void cheques or a credit card number. You can change or cancel the contribution at any time. You can also sign up through PayPal on our church’s website.
What’s the challenge?
Currently we have 28 members on PAR with total monthly contributions to the General Fund of $2874.
Our challenge is by January 1st of 2020 to have 40 members and $4000 of monthly contributions to the General Fund. If you have not signed up, please consider doing so. If you have signed up, please consider increasing your contributions if you are able.
What about the Offering?
The offering is an important part of our Worship Service. We have cards available in the pews for those on PAR that can be placed in the offering plate. You can also consider donating a portion of your annual contributions by PAR, and still use your envelopes.
What are the benefits of PAR?
PAR allows for a regular, dependable flow of contributions to the church. It makes it easier for the church to budget and meet its monthly expenses. It also means continued support for our church, even if you are unable to be there every week. In addition, it makes supporting your church easier for you! Please consider signing up today!
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful* giver. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
*Remember, here at First, we love grumpy givers too!!
