Have you ever realized right when the offering was announced that you forgot your checkbook — and all you have in your wallet is a wrinkled dollar bill, some lint, and a CVS receipt? You meant to donate, but now you’ll have to remember to go home and mail in a check. Now you will be able to make your donation for the Sunday offering with a credit or debit card as well! We will have a tablet with a card swipe unit set up at the rear of the sanctuary — just insert your card, type in the amount you want to donate, and it’s done! You get an emailed receipt, and a card to place in the offering plate indicating that you gave electronically. The secure card swipe system is powered by PayPal, and takes swiped cards and chip cards as well. It’s easy and quick! This same system will be available for donations at congregational lunches and other events, as well. Be sure to try it out!
We are also in the process of setting up “text-to-give” options, which allow cell phone users to make donations by sending a text to a particular number. This option should be available by the end of the month.
