Give
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
At St Matthew, we practice joyful giving. We encourage members to grow in generosity, because giving as a spiritual practice leads to greater gratitude and fulfilment.
Vanco
Make a one-time gift, or set-up recurring donations, via Vanco! You may use this link to access the website.
​
We ask those that wish to set-up recurring donations, please select the "GENERAL OPERATING FUND" and choose withdrawals to take place on either the 1st or 15th of the month. Thank you! If you have any difficulty setting up a payment, please contact the church office.​
Sunday Offering
Place checks or cash in the offering plate during the Sunday service. Checks placed in the offering basket are recorded on the Sunday when they are received. In order to receive the appropriate documentation you need for tax purposes your name and address must be clearly identifiable on your check.
Mail a Check
To make a financial contribution by check, send your check to the church office:
St. Matthew Lutheran Church, 224 Lovely Street, Avon, CT 06001
​
Checks are recorded on the following Sunday upon receipt.
If your bank has automated bill paying you can set up St. Matthew Lutheran Church to receive electronically generated checks, allowing you an easier way to be systematic in your giving. For gifts made by mail at year-end, IRS regulations require that the postmark stamped on your envelope have the same year as that for which you intend to receive credit for the gift.
