Rebecca Barnes begins her July 16 article "Church tech, part three: Paperless stewardship" with a comment and a question:

"With more than 60 percent of all workers in the U.S. receiving their paychecks through an automatic deposit and an increasing number of consumers paying their bills through electronic funds transfer, more and more churches are checking into checkless offerings. But does a tithe mean less if it isn’t as physical an act of worship as writing a check or putting money into an envelope? Does stewardship require a signature, sealed envelope or stamp?"

Electronic giving and payment for events are now a reality. Anyone can now sign up and pay for events, make a one time gift, or set up a schedule of automatic gifts…all electronically.

Does your tithe mean less if it is given electronically? I think not. God is interested in your obedience, your faithfulness, and your love for Him— not how you make your contribution. If you choose to give electronically and feel you need something to drop in the offering plate on Sunday, teaching your children this act of worship, drop in a note or envelope telling us you gave electronically, and our office personnel will verify that your contribution was receive and accounted for as you desired it to be.
