ADVENTISTGIVING POWERFUL RESOURCE FOR SAFE SECURE DONATIONS
By Jon Roberts – Denver, Colorado … Almost a year ago, our way of life was interrupted by a pandemic which has caused us to rethink the way we handle routine items. Instead of going to King Soopers or Safeway for groceries, we now have them delivered to our front door or we pick them up in the parking lot.
For many church members, their way of returning tithes and offerings has also had to adapt and change since March 2020. Individuals either mail their donations to the church office (which can take days or weeks to arrive with our uncertain mail system) or they can donate through AdventistGiving.org, a fast, secure, and safe way to donate.
