ELECTRONIC GIVING

Contributions can be debited automatically from your checking or savings account. Our electronic giving program offers convenience for you and much-needed donation consistency for our congregation If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need to write out 52 checks a year, or prepare 52 envelopes. And, when travel, illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, this program will allow your offerings to continue uninterrupted.

Clicking on the red “GIVE NOW” button takes you to our online donation page. Contributions can be made to the General Fund, the Building Fund, or the Monthly Mission Offering. You can make a one-time donation, or set up your own automatic payment plan. Questions? Contact Mike Christopherson at 952/442-2101, or email mikec@waconiafaithlutheran.com.

2013 Pledge

Commitment Sunday is coming soon! The theme for the 2013 general fund pledge is Learn, Serve and Share.

The general fund sustains those things what we care deeply about – our worship, our fellowship, our caring for each other and our neighbors, and our opportunities for learning along our faith journeys. This fund supports our operating budget which maintains our facilities, compensates our pastors and staff, and enables strong and active ministries that engage our members in supporting our mission.

Please note: this appeal is solely in support of our operating budget.
(The Building Faith – Generation after Generation / Capital Campaign fund is a separate pledge for the building renovation and assists mortgage reduction)

A Financial Commitment Card is enclosed with this letter. Please indicate on the card the amount you and/or your family intend to contribute to the general fund in 2013.

For questions on your 2012 pledge contact Mike Christopherson at the church office (952-442-2101).

Pledging is Easy! Completed Commitment Cards can be processed in four ways:

Place the card in the enclosed envelope and submit at church services on Commitment Sunday (October 14th)
Mail the card to Faith using the enclosed envelope
Bring to the church office (by October 14th)
Make your pledge on-line at www.waconiafaithlutheran.com.

Also available at the web site is information on electronic giving, either as a one-time donation or an automatic payment plan.

Even if you are not able to make a pledge this year or are pledging the same amount as last year, everyone is encouraged to respond. This enables us to plan for 2013 accordingly.
