A Prayer for Our Parish Family

Gracious God, we give you thanks that in your Son Jesus you give us abundant life, filled with the blessing of your saving grace. We rejoice that you gather us into the fellowship of this community to share in your transforming love.

Open our hearts and our minds that each member may discern your call to participate in this generous undertaking as we make our commitments to support our parish.

Accept what we offer for the ministry of Church of the Redeemer-our time, our talent, and our treasure and help us to use it according to your purpose, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Ways to make your pledge and gifts

Annual Pledge Return a pledge card for the 2012 calendar year (payable by Dec. 31, 2012). Quarterly statements will inform you of your payments and a year-end statement will be provided for tax purposes. Your pledge status can be checked online at anytime in the Members Access section of our website.
Cash The only way for us to track cash is by using offering envelopes sent out every other month. If you are not receiving these envelopes and pay by cash, please check the box on the pledge card.

Checks may be deposited in the offering plate (loose or in offering envelopes), mailed at any time or returned along with your pledge card.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock
By donating appreciated stock, you can take advantage of tax credits. Information needed by your broker is available at www.TheRedeemer.org/support or contact Denise Gibbone (610-525-2486 ext. 11).
IRA Charitable Rollover
Taxpayers age 70½ and older are required to make annual distributions from their IRAs. This is included in adjusted gross income (AGI) and subject to taxes. The IRA Charitable Rollover permits taxpayers to make donations directly to The Redeemer from their IRAs without counting them as part of their AGI and, consequently, without paying taxes on them. Currently set to expire in 2011, pending legislation could extend this benefit.
Online Giving
Visit www.TheRedeemer.org/support and click on the GIVE link to set up a secure contribution via VISA, MasterCard or electronic funds transfer from your checking or savings account.
VISA/MasterCard/Debit
If online access is not convenient, we can assist you in making a one-time gift or in setting up an automatic electronic account. To do this provide the information for credit cards requested on the back of the pledge card.
