| Good afternoon! What a busy month lies ahead for parishes – from Independence Day festivals and fireworks in our communities to beloved summer traditions like Vacation Bible School, day camps, and parish picnics that let churches spread God’s love and share fun and fellowship. After last summer’s quarantines and isolation, events like these mean so much this year. Stay safe! This month we hope you’ll update Faith Direct with any pastoral or administrative staff changes at your parish, and we also have updates on planned website outages this week. You’ll also find disbursement information for this month and a schedule of upcoming webinars. Thank you for letting Faith Direct be part of your ministries – may God bless you and parish. Faith Direct offices will be closed on Monday, July 5th, for Independence Day.In This Issue Changes to Pastors and Parish Staff Planned Website Outage - Week of June 28th July 2021 Disbursements Upcoming Webinars |

| Planned Website Outage - Week of June 28thFaith Direct is moving to the cloud! Our Development Team will be migrating our web application’s servers from our current hosting provider to Amazon Web Services. With this migration, Faith Direct’s security, infrastructure, and scalability will improve significantly. In this new web hosting environment, Faith Direct will have access to the industry’s top tools to continue innovating our platform and serving you and your donors best. If you would like to learn more about Amazon Web Services, please click here to learn more. This transition will take place at a low-peak usage time in the week of June 28th, during which there will be a temporary outage of three to four hours on church.faithdirect.net and membership.faithdirect.net. If you experience any outage at that time do not be alarmed. |
