REALM
Online Giving and Reporting
The end of the year can be rather busy, especially as we try and continue to do things remotely. Did you know that Highland has an online system to enable you to both give and check on your giving balance? It is called - REALM www.onrealm.org/HighlandPresbyterian
By clicking on the above link you will be directed to a "sign in" page. Use the email that the church has on file (the one that you receive this at) and don't worry if you have forgotten your password, click on the link that says "Forgot Your Password?" and reset.
When you login you should see a page that has a Community tab, click on that and then click on "Giving" in the menu. (If you don't see the Community tab, you are already on that page and you should also find "Giving" in the menu.) This brings you to your giving statement (current to the last deposit entered by our book-keeper twice a month).
There is also another "+Give" button at the top of your statement. Click on this button to give to any of our Offerings or special collections from flowers to Heifer. You will see "Fund" with a downward arrow at the far right that allows you to pull down a menu and choose the item you would like to give to.
You will be asked to sign in, and then taken to a simplified window with a similar "Fund" line and downward arrow on the right with a menu to choose from.
We all probably don't visit this site as much as we should, but with a few minutes exploring you will find useful information and ways to easily give online. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Louise Dye louisedla@aol.com.
