Church Finance and PAR PAR or pre-authorized remittance allows you to continually support Trinity when you are away and avoids those “catch-up” periods. Nor do you have to search for your cheque book at the last minute on a Sunday morning. For the congregation, it helps generate a dependable flow of cash to help Trinity meet its financial obligations. There is also less paper work and bookkeeping to be done by staff and volunteers. Have you considered using it to make your Trinity offering? It is simple to initiate and change, and yet it does not prevent one from participating in other Trinity initiatives. Currently, thirty-three individuals/households at Trinity are on PAR and the number is growing. If you have any questions, please speak to Rose Hewitson or Joan Rainbird-Sharp.
P.S. A PAR form is attached at the bottom of this page for your convenience. After completion,
return to Rose Hewitson or Joan Rainbird-Sharp. Hours for the Office at Trinity are as follows: Monday - CLOSED Tuesday - Friday 8:30a.m. - 12:30p.m. *************************************************** |
