A Note from the Pastor...

Have you noticed how things are changing? I can still
hear my elementary school math teacher telling people
in my class that we needed to learn how to do long
division by hand because we would not carry calculators
everywhere we go as adults. Today, I carry a computer
(a smartphone) in my pocket everywhere I go that has
the capability to do complex math problems and can
answer just about every question that I could ever ask
(thanks to Google).
One of the major changes that we have seen over the
past decade is in the way that we spend money. There
was a time when people carried cash or a checkbook
everywhere they went, but now there are many
Americans who never write checks and hardly ever
carry cash. This new dynamic has created a barrier to
giving. How can the church remove this barrier? The
answer is the church should offer electronic giving.
Electronic giving enables people to be able to securely
give to the local church using their debit card.
Donations can be scheduled, and they can be processed
at anytime from anywhere. I am proud to announce
that we are testing a new online giving tool here at
PRBC. I am sure this will be welcome news to those
who are in the cashless, checkless generation.
If you would like to give online you can find a link to the
online giving portal on the homepage of our website. If
you are currently happy giving in another way, please
continue to do so. Our goal is to open as many avenues
to giving as possible and remove as many obstacles to
giving as possible. Whether you give online or in
person, the most important thing is that you give
cheerfully and willingly to Gods work here in Hueytown
and around the world.
I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at worship.
God is doing an amazing work here at PRBC and great
things are happening here.
