Several years ago, I discovered a simple idea that helps our church members plan their giving better, and gives our church finances a healthy year-end bump.
In the fall – usually between the end of October and the beginning of December – we send out a short letter to every regular giver with a thank you for their faithfulness that year and a record of what they’ve given so far.
This simple practice is a great way to thank everyone for their generosity, while providing a helpful reminder before it’s too late to make up for any unintentional shortfall for the calendar year.
