Dear St. Martin's Members,
We’re reaching out to you as our habits change amid this COVID-19 pandemic. We fully understand that we are not able to bring our families to gatherings, including St. Martin’s services. But we are finding new ways to be the church. This past Easter was celebrated in a different way then we have ever experienced, and it was good! We recently had a wonderful collection for the Food Pantry, and our Thursday night online discussion group was a great success during Lent. We plan to start a new one soon.
We also know that supporting St. Martins is important to you. Supporting our members and community will not stop because of this public health challenge.
This is a friendly update that St. Martins has started using
Vanco eGiving, so you can continue to support our church from the safety of your home using laptops/computer or the mobile phone app – GivePlus. On the church website: stmartinsnj.org ciick on the DONATE tab and it will take you to the link to be able to set up your Vanco eGivng member profile.
St. Martin’s is a strong community. We will weather this together. Even after this is all over, electronic giving may be the best way for you to support St. Martin’s. We appreciate your giving, and we do important work with members 'generosity. Please consider making a gift via eGiving.
Thank you,
Finance and Stewardship
Steps for Setting up a Vanco eGivng
·
Once you click on the Vanco graphic, you need to first create your online profile, this is located on the lower right hand spot on the screen.
·
Once you’ve created your profile, add your credit card or checking information and you can set up your giving amounts/frequency.
There is a fee associated every time you give, so if possible, if you can give monthly instead of weekly it is greatly appreciated.
·
You can also create this profile and give using the app – GivePlus. on your mobile phone.
You can also support St. Martins by setting up an online bill pay option through your bank.
Online Bill Pay

If your bank offers
online bill pay
, go to that function on your bank web site and
enter St. Martin’s as a payee
. The address information for St. Martin’s is:
·
St. Martin’s Episcopal Church

Your bank should then allow you to
select the amount and frequency of how often you would like to contribute.
3.
Once this is setup, your
bank will send a physical check to St. Martin’s
based on your specifications.
And of course, you can still mail your check directly to St. Martins –
someone is going to the church, checking mail and making deposits.
