Creative Fundraiser

Now that's inventive stewardship! Churches are often struggling to make ends meet and along with regular giving turn to events and activities to bring in extra cash. Here at St. Paul's there is a sucessful Golf Tournament, theatre junkets, suppers and catering, just to name a few.
At Westminster Presbyterian Church in California congregants have been told that if a cell phone or other device goes off during the announcements in worship it will be a $25 fine. During prayers it will be $50. During the sermon? Hell!
What do you think? Add this to our fundraising?
