New Online Giving Option Available:
We believe giving is an act of worship, as we learn to respond in a very tangible way to the incredible generosity of God. We give out of grateful hearts in recognition that God owns everything, and we are to be faithful stewards of all He entrusts to us. We are pleased to now offer an online giving option through Easy Tithe. Easy Tithe conforms to the highest set of security standards in the industry, so your transactions will be secure. Click https://app.easytithe.com/g3/ and follow the instructions to set up your account. You can give a one-time gift or set up recurring giving. This will not replace the weekly offertory part of our service, but is an additional way to give tithes and offerings. You may also mail your gift to the church at the following address: 4 Market Square, 37902.

We want to draw your attention to a slight change in the All Souls newsletter. We have added two new sections, " Word and Worship," and " 10 to the City." In the Word and Worship section, you can link directly to the weekly lectionary, take a peek into the order of each week's service, and link to the podcasts of Doug's sermons. In lieu of "Community Events," we have now added a "10 to the City" section. Here you will learn of events within those organizations, including volunteer opportunities, and hear stories related to our partnership with them. Be on the lookout for more changes to our communication pieces coming soon!
Childcare volunteers are needed once a month for the summer. If you are interested in serving our families in this way, please contact Melanie Leach at keepingheart@gmail.com.

The information and application can be downloaded with the attached link. You can forward the applications to Brad Carter, bradcart@lycos.com or leave with Jill in the church office.
