We would like to help our volunteers in parishes to feel more connected and supported by the diocese and invite you to join us for a series of topic-based zoom meetings facilitated by diocesan staff. These will be available to PCCs (treasurers, churchwardens, administrators, and clergy). Diocesan staff and parish ‘experts’ will share information and knowledge in these sessions in the format of a short presentation or Q&A format, both followed by your questions.
We will share with you why digital giving is so important for all churches to enable your generous congregation and wider community to give easily to your church. We will show you how to set up online giving campaigns using Give A Little and Sum Up or Stripe (payment providers) and how to share the online link and QR codes on your A Church Near You Page and/or your website as well as using it on pew sheets, posters and in parish magazines.
We will show you some donation device options for those churches with wi-fi, churches that have good mobile SIM coverage inside their church, and for those who need an 'off-line' device, including different pricing options. There will be time to ask questions and to see the CollecTin devices that we can lend out to you on trial.
You will be emailed the Zoom link shortly before the event and if you have any difficulties the contact is Emma Denton (emma.denton@cofesuffolk.org).
