Attenders

Bulletin Board -- A bulletin board is available in the coatroom for Salem attenders to post "Wanted", "For Sale" and "Give Away" ads. Type or neatly print ads on a 4 x 6 inch card or paper and then return them to the church office for approvcal and posting.

eGiving -- Salem is now offering its members and regular attenders the option of electronically making their gifts. Salem will use the same ACH system (Automated Clearing House) that banks, health clubs and insurance companies offer to their customers. Here are the main advantages of using "eGiving":

Ensures complete confidentiality - no one other than the Financial Secretary will know the amount of your gift.
Saves time and money - no check writing.
Quick and easy to setup - a voided check from your account is all that is needed, and it can be revised at any time.
Helps ensure disciplined, biblically-based giving - if you are on vacation or otherwise not able to attend, your regular gift will still be made on its scheduled date.
"eGiving" also has several benefits to Salem as well, because it would stabilize our cash flow and enable us to better budget and execute our ministry plans.

To get set up on "eGiving," simply send a voided check from your account to our Financial Secretary along with the amount you would like to give. She will handle all the setup. "eGifts" can be made in any amount on the first and/or the fifteenth of each month. Be sure to indicate the break down of how much of your donation you want to go to each fund (general, missions, building or deacon's). If you have any questions, feel free to contact our financial secretary or finance team leader.
