MUSIC PLUS ENDS SEASON WITH A HOMETOWN STAR


"Coming Full Circle - Bring Me Your Song Again"...International opera star, and St. James parishioner, Jennifer O'Loughlin, will present a 50-minute program of vocal selections, assisted by Donna Amato on piano, on April 28th at 3:00pm, in the church. A Sewickley native, Jenny was a 2013 winner of the Maria Callas Award at the Paris Opera Awards. She has sung in the major opera houses of Europe and beyond, and has lived in Vienna for most of that time. Many of us remember her singing at St. James from the time she was in junior high school! This will be a memorable concert that will warm your heart. Her website is www.jenniferoloughlin.com At 2:30pm, a pre-show concert will be presented by the Quaker Valley High School Choir, with Matthew Boice conducting. Mr. Boice was one of Jenny's teachers when she was at Quaker Valley, and was pleased to be able to be part of this concert. A free-will donation will be gratefully accepted, and a reception will follow the concert. Don't miss this one! Come and enjoy Jenny's God-given talent.

Online Giving offers you the opportunity to make secure, automatic contributions from your bank [or credit card] account to our church.

As we begin this new program, you may notice your neighbors placing “I Gave Online” offertory cards into the collection basket instead of traditional envelopes. However you choose to give your time, talent, and treasure, we thank you! Our church ministries thrive only with your help.

We ask that you consider using this service—especially if you currently manage your bills or banking online. For more information about Online Giving, please call Karin at 412-741-6650 x310.

Online Giving FAQs

Is Online Giving Safe?
Online Giving meets the highest banking-level security standards set forth by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to ensure safe and confidential transactions. In fact, your banking information is encrypted in the system and is not accessible to any users or administrators of the Online Giving system.

When you manage your own account information, your church never needs to handle checks or worry about locking up documents containing your account information. And you’ll always be certain that your gifts are direct-deposited into your church’s account.

What are the advantages of Online Giving?
It makes it easy to give, even when you are unable to attend church. You never have to bring cash or checks to church. Giving electronically also helps the church save money and plan its budget!

How are my contributions automatically deducted from my account?
Once you complete the online registration form, the contribution amount you specify will automatically be transferred from your bank account to the church's bank account.

When will my contribution be deducted from my account?
Your electronic contribution will be debited on the date you specify on the "My Gifts" page of the Online Giving system.

If I do not write checks, how do I keep my checkbook balance straight?
Since your contribution is made at a pre-established time, you simply record it in your check register on the appropriate date. Electronic contributions are recorded for you on your bank statement as well as your online reports.

Without a canceled check, how can I prove I made my contribution?
Your bank statement and the Online Giving system both provide reports that document your electronic transactions.

Can I put different amounts in offerings and have all of them withdrawn at different times?
You can contribute to different offerings at different times; however, you will have to do each one separately. You will receive a receipt for each one.

What if I change bank accounts?
Log in and update your account information in the My Payment Schedule window. Each checking/savings/credit card can be changed using the edit button, deleted completely, or new accounts can be added on the right side of the screen.

How much does Online Giving cost?
It costs you absolutely nothing!

What if I try Online Giving and don't like it?
You can cancel your authorization by deleting your accounts and donation dates at any time.
