Would it be an understatement to say “things are changing every day”?
A month ago, I never imagined church would be canceled. If someone would have told me so, I would have said, “no way”. But here we are…no church.
One thing that does stay the same is that bills still come in and need to be paid. And New Life is no exception. The stack of envelopes on the table next to me is proof.
Having said that, we are grateful for every one of you for your support – in the past, now, and in the future. It won’t be long until we are back together, and how much more we will celebrate being able to do so!
For some time now, the deacons have discussed ways to make giving easier utilizing online giving and text-to-give. The current Coronavirus crisis seems to demand movement on this. We have been in touch with our accounting and membership software provider, and they do offer online giving. We have applied, the application approved, and we are working to set up the process.
In the meantime, checks are good – as always. They can be mailed to the church to my attention. The checks will go into my mailbox and be deposited on a regular basis.
