Giving Goes Green....Electronic Giving at Valley View
Churches, with their heavy check volumes, were among the earliest organizations to embrace electronic giving as a way to automate contributions. Today, electronic giving in all its forms provides convenience for frequent check writers and donation consistency for churches..including Valley View!
A less frequently discussed benefit of electronic giving is its positive impact on the environment. An enormous amount of natural resources are consumed in the production, transportation, processing and disposal of paper checks. That's why paying bills electronically always ranks high on any list of actions an individual can take to improve the environment. Since the year 2000, the powerful trend toward electronic payments has already produced more than a 50 percent decline in check use.
As you consider the payment method you use to make your regular offering, we hope that you will think about the unique connection between financial stewardship and environmental stewardship.
We offer monthly or semimonthly withdrawal on the 1st and/or 15th of the month. Funds may be designated to the General Fund, Building Fund, Apportionments and Hope Chest. To start automatic withdrawal, just fill out one of our yellow forms and return it to the business office. If you have any questions about automatic withdrawal, please call Jill Lunsford in the main church office at 913-642-4400.
