*(Pre-Authorized Remittances)
WHAT IS PREAUTHORIZED
REMITTANCE (PAR)?
If you have automatic cheques going to your bank
account to pay for insurance, taxes, fuel or mortgage,
then you understand the PAR principal. For both
Knox Church and you PAR means regular
contributions throughout the year.
Many people in other churches use the PAR plan for
their church offering, finding it a convenient way to
take care of their regular commitments to the church
month by month. Now you can participate in this
program at Knox Church.
ADVANTAGES TO THE
CONTRIBUTOR
1. Regular support of the church in the amount that
you choose.
2. Continual support of the church when you are
away.
3. Avoidance of “catch-up” periods.
4. Can reduce the number of transactions through
your bank account.
ADVANTAGES TO THE
CONGREGATION
1. Regular, dependable flow of contributions.
2. Reduction of paper work and bookkeeping.
On or about the 20th of each month your bank
account will be debited with your monthly gi, and
our congregation’s bank account will be credited with
the total of all gis from those who participate in this
plan.
Should you wish to change your contribution, either
in amount or distribution, simply notify Kevin Pasma,
Chief Administrative Officer & Treasurer at Knox
Church, by way of letter, note or email.
Changes received prior to the 1st of the month
become effective on the 20th of the same month.
IT’S EASY TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE PAR PLAN
1.
Decide the amount of your monthly offering. If you
usually give a certain amount weekly, please
remember there are 4.33, not 4 weeks in a month. A
Monthly Givings Calculator is shown on the
opposite page to help you calculate the monthly
amount.
2. Complete the PAR Authorization Form section in
this brochure and attach a sample cheque from your
bank account marked “VOID.”
3. Enclose both in an envelope addressed to Kevin
Pasma, Chief Administrative Officer & Treasurer,
and place on the offering plate or leave it at or mail
to Knox Church.
4. Once you are signed up, we will send you a
confirmation letter and a supply of PAR cards for
you to put into the offering plate each Sunday as a
symbol of your giving.
