Question 6

Giving

Accepted Answer

There are five common options for giving:   (1) Give in Sunday School (use this option if you aren't able to stay for worship or if you will be serving elsewhere on campus when the offering is taken) (2) Give in worship (we are not "passing the plates" right now; instead, we have giving boxes located near the exits of the sanctuary) (3) Put a check in the mail - to First Baptist Church PO Box 1205 Thomson GA 30824 (4) Set up an auto-draft through your bank (every bank is different, but many banks offer this service to you free of charge) (5) Give on-line through Realm     Members: use your giving envelopes, please! Believe it or not, those envelopes are very important. They make it a lot faster to post giving accurately, and they give us the ability to double-check the numbers more effectively.
