This form can be updated or edited at any time, the PAR giving should be reviewed annually to be sure that the PAR levels are what you want. If you are on PAR you will still get envelopes for extra or special apeals (donations).
Offering Envelopes
Offering Envelopes are offered to each adherent. If you haven't received your envelopes or are new and would like envelopes, simply see Karen in the office and she will set you up, or you can put a note in the collection plate (with name/address) and it will be delivered to Karen. Envelopes allow you to designate your offering each week between General, M&S, Building and "Other" funds. If you are designating "Other", please indicate what it is for so the donation can be sent to the correct place. Designation of "Other" is where to donate to world appeals or other special appeals.
