FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ST. ANDREW’S MINISTRIES
For more informatiom contact the church office 250-656-5322 or the Givings Envelope Secretary email givings@standrewssidney.ca
We have many ways to express our gratitude for the blessings God has given us in our prayer life, in our activities for the building up of God's kingdom on earth and in our financial contributions for the ministry of the church where we belong.
The ministries of ST. ANDREW’S are funded by the financial support by members of this faith community and others. This is a matter of great importance. Most people plan for their charitable giving and decide to utilize more than one option for regular, grateful giving back to God during one's lifetime.
Giving envelopes.
Provided by the church, the giving envelopes are used for weekly cash or cheque donations that you place in the offertory plate each week. The numbered giving envelopes will identify you for accounting purposes and to issue Tax receipts at the end of the year.
Automatic Monthly Donations:
Direct debit from one's bank account monthly. The same amount each month, that you have authorized, is debited. This is extremely helpful to the church in managing it’s cash flow.
Electronic Funds Transfer.
Use your on-line banking to send us your donation.
Send to treasurer@standrewssidney.ca
We use auto deposit so no need for a security question, but you may need to create one when adding St. Andrew's Anglican Church to your e-Transfer recipient list.
Current members should include your name and giving envelope number, so we credit the correct person.
Non members, please include in the comments area your contact information. (your name, address and email. Add any other notes about your donation.)
Cheque or Cash donation in person as visitor or non parish member.
Ask the Greeter or Sidesperson for a generic Giving Envelope (put your name and contact information on it so we can identify you for accounting and tax receipt purposes ($20 or more in a calendar year). Enclose your Cash or Cheque and place it in the offertory plate.
Outreach:
In addition to the weekly giving, donations can also be made to St Andrew’s Outreach ministries as a quarterly gift. Each quarter of the year is for 1 of the 4 charitable causes.
For additional information, setting up monthly automatic donation or getting giving envelopes, please contact St. Andrew’s Church Office 250-656-5322 or email admin@standrewssidney.ca
Planned Giving
This method involves giving from one's accumulated assets. This is most often done during estate planning for the disposition of assets after one's death, but there are also options from which to choose that come into force during one's lifetime. Please pick up a brochure from the Narthex or ask at the office.
Memorial Gifts
When there is a death in a St Andrew’s family or a funeral is booked at the parish, the family of the one who passed away may choose to give a memorial gift. Depending on the interests of the deceased and the family, memorial gifts may be dedicated for some particular purpose or left to the discretion of the wardens.
