August – PAR Month
Today, I am happy to share with you a few of the ways our Bethany United Church Congregation is trying to help you, our parishioners, grow in your faith.
These include Sunday Worship Services, Pastoral Care & Visitation, Exercise Class, Men’s Fellowship Meetings, Bible Study, Sunday School, Confirmation Classes, Gospel Concerts, Songbird Music Ministry, Program Support, etc.
Another way that we strive to help you grow in your faith is by providing ways for you to be generous. Consistent generosity and stewardship are important spiritual practices for those following Jesus. Jesus spoke a lot about the relationship His followers should have with money and resources. Both are important tools in our life of faith and justice for all. Sharing them whenever possible is critical.
So, this month, we invite you to prayerfully consider using our regular monthly giving program, PAR. PAR stands for Pre-Authorized Remittance. It’s a way that your monthly financial gift to our Local Church and to our larger work through Mission and Service can be automatically withdrawn from your bank account and placed into Bethany United Church’s account. It’s easy to start and simple to change, as those of you already using PAR know very well. Feel free, for example, to reach out to parishioner, Keith Thomas about his experience.
If you are not giving consistently and regularly through PAR, please consider taking that step in faith. For those of you already using PAR, thank you, and maybe now is the time to make an increase in your giving.
Either way, PAR sign/up or update forms, and any answers to your PAR questions are available by going to united-church.ca and searching under PAR, or calling 416-232-6004. Alternately, you may contact our church office at 596-6754. Ashley, our Church Secretary, or John Comerford, our Treasurer, will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for your generosity and I hope you join those currently on PAR. Being regular in your giving feels great!
- Rev. Sellars,
Pastoral Charge Minister
