Holy Day Offering Collection
Hello All,
Since we are unable to assemble in person tomorrow, I wanted to share how we can give our offerings. Below are several ways that we can submit our offering. If there are any questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
Donate Online
Many members already use our website's online donation page at donate.ucg.org to give their Holy Day offerings when they are not able to be at those services-as well as their regular tithes and offerings. This will be available again this year. We have added the First Day of Unleavened Bread and the Last Day of Unleavened Bread to the donation page; they will remain on the page until April 24, so you will be able to make your Holy Day offerings online, if you prefer.
If you are new to online donations, we have produced a video that walks you through the process: https://www.ucg.org/members/news/how-to-donate-online
If you use the online option, please note the following:
a) Please include your PIN (the number that begins with "U" on your green Holy Day offering envelopes, just above your name and address.) This greatly speeds up the processing here at the home office. When a PIN is omitted, it requires extra work on the part of the personnel here at the home office to ensure the donation is being credited to you.
b) To optimize your offering, please use the "Online eCheck" option, which is the same as writing a check for your offering-because using your credit card for payment costs the Church around 3% of the donation amount to process.
Banking Bill Payment
Others may choose to use a "bill pay" service through their bank. Again, if you choose to pay this way, in the section for your "account number," please list your PIN and then, in addition, put H1 (First Day of Unleavened Bread) or H2 (Last Day of Unleavened Bread) after your PIN. This will help us credit the correct fund for your donation receipt.
Sent by Mail
For those who choose to mail their Holy Day offerings, please use the green Holy Day offering envelopes which were mailed to you earlier. Please use a separate check and envelope for each Holy Day offering. You will then need to place these envelopes into another carrier envelope and mail to the following address:
United Church of God - HDO
P.O. Box 541027
Cincinnati, OH 45254-1027
