Christian greetings to all!
Last Monday, the South England Conference President, Dr Emmanuel Osei announced the difficult decision to suspend all church services in light of the developing situation around coronavirus. This is an unprecedented move in our church history. As a people of faith, we will continue to worship together in other ways and forms such as livestreaming, in small groups or with our own families.
In response to your enquiries as to how you can continue to return your tithe and offerings, I attach a file showing other ways of giving besides the traditional method of returning your donations through envelopes and offering baskets.
Here are the ways of giving and brief notes:
- On-line giving – via SEC website and click DONATE button
- Bank transfer – Please quote your Gift Aid number, if any as the bank transaction reference.
- Telephone – Available between Monday to Thursday from 9:30am to 4:30pm
- Cheques – Please issue cheques to South England Conference and write your gift aid number of church name at the back of the cheque
- Text giving - Local offerings only
- Mobicash/mobile app – As of March 2020, only available for paying SEC and tithe. Will accept local offerings soon.
Pastor Todd Frias, the SEC Stewardship director has also sent an on-line file to all our workers regarding 6 Ways of Giving which is similar to the file attached.
A video presentation has been prepared and can be found via this link :https://youtu.be/MY6iWvsM8Nk . The video mentions standing order through on-line banking. If you are unable to do so, you can complete the attached form (HSBC or non-HSBC customers, whatever is applicable to you) and send it to your local bank/branch. The video and other documents will be available on our website soon.
As stated by Ps Osei, you are encouraged to tune in and be a part of our Sabbath services from our SEC studio: http://secmedia.org/
May God will continue to bless us all as we remain faithful in carrying out God’s work here on earth and as we wait for His soon return.
In His service,
Candy
