Give your love, support and thanks to our military servicemen and

own message to a member of our military. The greeting card, gift card, and some candy will
ship in time for Valentine’s Day. The last day to participate will be Sunday, February 2.
Please stop by our table in the narthex and let your patriotic heart shine.
Also, if you have a family member or friend that is currently serving in the military or doing
missionary work throughout the world, please send their name and address to Wendy Reiner

CHURCH OFFERINGS & REVENUE
2019 yearOther
end financials are still being finalized. An update will be provided as soon as
possible.
FISCAL YEAR ENDS DECEMBER 31, 2019
We will post year end contributions as follows:
Contribution envelopes – the envelope you use will determine how your gift is
recorded.
Checks without envelopes - The date of your check will determine how your
gift is recorded. If dated as a December 2019 check and is received BY
Monday, January 6, 2020, it will go towards your 2019 contributions. If your
check is dated January 1, 2020 and forward, it will go towards your 2020
contributions.
Any check received after Monday, January 6, 2020, will be recorded as a 2020
donation.
For 2019 stock donations, the trade needs to be received by William Blair on or
before December 31, 2019.
STOCK DONATIONS
We received an anonymous stock donation gift this past week. We would like to give thanks
to the party who gave this gift. If you made a stock donation in December, please contact
the church office.
Also, just a friendly reminder going forward, when giving a stock donation through William
Blair, please notify the church office of your donation so we can prepare the necessary tax
documents. Thank you!
FRIENDLY NOTE AS WE ENTER A NEW DECADE!
We heard of a very helpful hint and wanted to pass this information on to you!
When writing the date in 2020, write the year in its entirety. It could possibly protect you and
prevent legal issues on paperwork.
Example: If you just write 1/1/20, one could easily change it to 1/1/2017 (for instance) and
now your signature is on an incorrect document.
SCRIP
Physical Gift Card orders will begin again soon!
For now, here are two ways to keep using Shop with Scrip to earn money for Saint Paul:
1) eGift cards
2) Reload funds to your physical cards
