It is important for people to participate in the act of giving their offering as an act of worship. When people choose to give their gift via electronic means, they lose the opportunity to place their gift in the offering plate. By providing people with a card they can use, they can participate in this corporate act. This way, the representation of their gift is placed with others and appropriately blessed, and the offering tray does not pass their spot “empty”!
We recommend that they be printed on heavy card stock and can thus be reused. We would also suggest that a few of the cards be sent to people who elect to use the EFT option along with a letter that both explains the use and purpose of the cards, along with a confirmation of their intent regarding the amount, frequency, etc. of the gift they are making.

I am trying to go to the link http://www.center for faithandgiving.org/electronic gift card.pdf the link is Not Found. Where do I go now.
Thank you,
Jynda
Sorry Jynda – we are still finding broken links from our site migration earlier this year. We will put it in for repair – but it may take a few days since tomorrow is Friday and our IT people will not consider this a “house is on fire” priority. If you check back middle of next week and it is still bad – let me know and I will light their house on fire! 🙂

Time to light that fire!
The link http://www.centerforfaithandgiving.org/Electronic%20gift%20card%201.pdf is still broken!
Our IT person is on vacation until Thursday. I will put it on the top of my list.
Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for letting us know.
I too am having trouble with the link. would it be possible for you to email me the pdf?
The link has been “lost”. I am on the road until 1/27 – at which point I can retrieve the original off of my desktop computer and repost it. Very sorry for the problem. Thought we had it fixed…
Well, these have been permanently lost the ether. New ones are being created. Check back soon.
Hi Bruce, and luck on finding these e-giving cards?
I am reminded of the need to search for them again – thanks. I will try to have it up in a couple of hours – thanks for being persistent and I am sorry for the delay.
