GIVING

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ST. ANDREW’S MINISTRIES
   There are 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 of members of this faith community and others supportive of our work.

Pre Authorized Remittance (PAR): 
       A direct debit monthly, from your bank account or credit card, for the amount that you have authorized. This regular giving is extremely helpful to the church in managing its cash flow. To set up monthly automatic donations please contact the office by phone at 250-656-5322 or by email at admin@standrewssidney.ca. You will need to complete the PAR Authorization Form which you can download here and submit to the office when completed.

Envelopes:
      Provided by the church, envelopes are used for weekly cash or cheque donations placed on the offertory plate each week. The numbered envelopes will identify you for accounting purposes and allow the church to issue tax receipts at the end of each year.

If you are a current member, please include your name and envelope number, so the church can issue a correct receipt at the end of the year. If you are not a member, please include your contact information (name, mailing address, and email address) and add any other special notes about your donation in the comments area.

Planned Giving:
        This method involves giving from one's accumulated assets, most often during estate planning for the disposition of assets after one's death. There are also options from which to choose during your lifetime, such as a gift of securities (shares, bonds, or mutual funds). A brochure with further details is available from the Narthex or the church office.

Memorial Gifts:       
        When there is a death in a St Andrew’s family or a funeral is held at St. Andrew's, the family of the deceased 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.
