Pre-Authorized Remittance
.
Whether or not I am there ...
... my church has on-going commitments every week that need my offering. My church is important to me, and so is my financial commitment to its work. That is why I use the PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance) system to honour my commitment.
If you have automatic cheques going to your bank account to pay for insurance, cable TV,taxes, fuel, or mortgage, then you understand the PAR principle. It means regular contributions throughout the year (Pre-Authorized Remittance).
Many people use the PAR system for their church offering, finding it a convenient way to take care of their regular commitments to the church month by month. You canparticipate in this program.
Your account will be debited on or about the lst of the month and your congregation's account credited with the amount payable from all members who participate.
