In response to a question at the annual meeting…  If you want to make scheduled contributions to the church without using Simply Giving, that charges 2.75% on the amount of each donation, simply do online banking with your  financial institution.  You can select a frequency of weekly, monthly, or annual, along with the date of the transaction.  I’ve done this with my bank for more than 10 years without any fees.  It is quite easy & you can to make changes any time desired.  Last year Grace was charged more than $700 for donations through Simply Giving. Feel free to reach out to me at Council President, Kurt Meyers with questions or concern.
