Good afternoon!
How’s your summer going? It’s hard to believe August is here, summer is almost over, and kids are getting ready for back-to-school. Faith Direct is honored to be part of your parish in every season, for every ministry you offer to your church families and those in need. Let your success manager know if you need help or have questions as summer winds down.
This month we share how you can process upcoming campaigns through Faith Direct using our special campaign appeal format. You’ll also find updated materials you can use for your parish’s social media, website, and bulletin – plus 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! In This Issue

How to Set Up a Campaign
Do you have a campaign for your parish coming up?
You can process your campaign through Faith Direct using our special campaign appeal format.
This option can also be used for pledge/payment driven appeals – i.e. making payment/gift installments until desired amount is reached. Check out our knowledge-base article to learn how to set up a campaign-style appeal.

Bulletin Announcements Summer is almost over – have you made the switch to eGiving? It’s a great way to support St. John Demo Church and grow our ministries that share the Good News of God’s love. You can sign up from your computer, smartphone or tablet, and set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift.
Recuring gifts can streamline your stewardship and sustain our parish in the “dog days” of summer and throughout the year. You’ll provide consistent support that helps us always be at the ready with programs, services, and ministries for our church families and for those in need throughout the community.
Sign up today by visiting FD2, or text ‘Enroll’ to (Text-to-Give Number). Thank you for your continued support of our parish family.
God Bless You, (Pastor's Name Here) "Do you have summer vacation plans this month or next? Remember to plan for your offertory as well! When summer getaways take you out of town on Sundays, eGiving lets you continue to support St. John Demo Church and the ministries you cherish. You can sign up from your computer, smartphone or tablet, and set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift.
Recuring gifts sustain our parish in the busy summer months and throughout the year. You’ll provide us with consistent support, even if you’re away on a Sunday, so the programs, services, and ministries that mean so much to our community will never miss a beat.
