A Testimony: Vail Barrett, "Why I love this church and support it!"

Our supporters give out of their desire to strengthen the Church, their wish to give something back to the community, and their commitment to ensuring that future congregation members and their children will benefit from the same opportunities past generations enjoyed.

How do you relate to money? Jesus spoke more about money than most everything else in the gospels. (Most was about the Kingdom of God) He talked about it so much because he knew how money can compete for our primary allegiance to God.

2. Electronic Funds Transfer Program for Your Pledge

Our church is embracing technology and has adopted a giving option that may be more convenient for many of our congregation members and friends – the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Program.  It will work in the same manner as the programs offered by local gas and electric and many insurance and mortgage companies.

 You choose a donation frequency: weekly, semimonthly, or monthly.  Indicate the amount of the contribution you wish to make. Then complete the remainder of the Authorization Form, mail it to the church office, or drop it in the offering and we will arrange for your choice of credit card, savings or checking account to be debited. All done confidentially.

Important Benefits of Electronic Funds Transfer

The Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) program yields very significant benefits for our church and makes life easier for you:

It is great for you: Give to God first.

Give while you are away.

Keeps you on track.

Convenient and secure.

Snowbirds, travelers, retirees, students, busy people - all love it.

 

It is great for your church:

Increases regular giving

Steadies cash flow.

Reduces the use of reserves.

Fewer checks to process, less work.

         Secure, efficient, and affordable.

3. Traditional  - Church Envelope or Offering Plate donation

This option is still available. You can request weekly ordering envelopes from the Church Office or you can place your donations in the offering plate on Sundays during worship. If you would like a yearly receipt for your donations, please be sure your name is noted on your check or envelope.

4. Paypal

We welcome one-time donations through PayPal. PayPal.Me/RoxburyChurch

6. Cash For Causes and Scrip! 

Since beginning the "Cash For Causes" program, participants have contributed thousands of dollars to the mission and work of our church. 

You can purchase cash cards online for groceries purchased at Stop and Shop, Big Y, or Shop Rite. We get a nice percentage here at the church and you receive a cash card at the full face value for the money spent. It is a win-win!!

The program does include more of your everyday items at places like Walmart, Staples, HomeGoods, Shell, Panera Bread, and Kohls. Store listing link. If you haven't participated in the Cash For Causes program before, this is a great time to try. Simply place your order, prepay the card(s), and shop. It's that simple. 

A complete listing of participating retailers is posted in Fellowship Hall, and can be found here or at raiseright.com

Just download the "Raise Right" app to your smartphone or desktop and load your existing Scrip account or sign up there. Your cards are sent directly to you! No longer do you have to find Heidi and see her after worship or drive to her house to pick up cards. AND the church seems to get more money now.  The Church's Enrollment Code is: 8F15BD7143454

 

As always, feel free to contact Susan Zappulla-Peters, Coordinator at 860-355-8830 or cash4causes@roxburychurch.org 

7. LaBonne's Grocery Store receipts and put them in the wooden collection box on the Opportunity Table in Fellowship Hall.  They will be redeemed as part of LaBonne's Cash 4 Charities program and financially benefit the church’s mission.

  

8. Recycle your ink and laser cartridges in the recycle box in Fellowship Hall. A rebate from Staples helps with our office expenses.

 If you have any questions about these programs, contact Rev. Peters 860-355-1978.

9. Attend our fundraisers throughout the year! 

 We sponsor a number of fundraising events throughout the year including our Country Church Christmas Fair (early December), Trivia Night! (4 times a year) Art Show and Sale (June), Rummage and Bake Sale (May), Beef Barbecue (August), and Tag Sale (Fall). In addition, there might be a Chili Cookoff, a pancake breakfast, or a spaghetti supper on the horizon. All not only provide funds for the ministries of the church but more importantly, opportunities for the wider community to come together and have fun!

Note: Amazon has discontinued the Amazon Smile program as of February 2023. We thank them for their support and your participation with it.
