LEND A HELPING HAND

IN OUR WORSHIPING

 

 

Our church is a liturgical worshiping community.  There is need for members to read, prepare, greet or provide flowers for our service.  Do you have the capacity to help us?  See one of the council members, the Pastor or Intern.

 

 

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

 

 

This congregation and facility rely on the financial support of its members and friends.  Consider your financial support for allowing the work of this congregation to be sustained.  Consider giving on an automatic withdrawal from your bank to allow for a predictable budget to pay our bills throughout the year.

 

Methods of Financial Support to Keep Our Facility and Ministry Vibrant.

Currently, there are numerous ways for you to give and help us to maintain our church. A few options are outlined below:
1. Mail envelopes with your donation (preferably by cheque) to the church
As long as Canada Post is running, you can mail envelopes directly to the church office.
Mailing address:  
Hope Lutheran Church, 2174 Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo, BC V9S 3V6
2. Drop envelopes with your donation (preferably by cheque) off at church
Envelopes can be placed through the normal mail slot at the front door of the church. These will be gathered regularly and your donation will be accounted for in the usual way. You will receive your charitable tax credit for all donations.
If you are mailing or delivering a cheque you might want to think about enclosing a series of post-dated cheques. We expect the current restrictions will last at least three to four months.
3. Sign up for Pre-Authorized Withdrawal (PAR)
A fillable PDF form is attached to this letter. You can fill the form on your computer and mail your signed application together with a void cheque to:

Hope Lutheran Church, 2174 Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo, BC V9S 3V6

 

Or you can scan the signed form together with both sides of your void cheque and email them to me, Hope Lutheran’s Treasurer, Gerry Owen at  gerry.owen@shaw.ca.  I will ensure that your PAR form gets to the administrator right away. You will receive a charitable donation receipt for your full donation.

The PAR Fillable PDF Forms are on the buttons below:

4. Interac e-Transfer using online banking

• If you use online banking, log into your account
