Good morning,
Our prayers are with the staff, parish communities, and all affected by Hurricane Ian now and in the weeks to come.
If your parish would like to set up a one-time gift for Hurricane Relief, you can follow the instructions in this help article or contact your Success Manager for assistance.
Faith Direct is here to assist St. John Demo Church with your stewardship efforts this year. Keep reading for tips on bringing stewardship commitment cards online and a last call on our fall email campaign.

Online Stewardship Commitment Card
With stewardship season underway, what better way to help introduce Faith Direct to your parishioners than to have them sign up for stewardship through Faith Direct?
Our event platform is equipped to handle your stewardship needs--and the possibilities are endless!
The team has put together an example of how a commitment card can be set up using the event forms platform. You can view it on our demo church.
You can contact your Client Success Manager with any questions about setting up your own online stewardship card.

Event Forms Video Tutorial Series: Part Five
As we continue our tutorials on the event forms platform, we are going to explore the General tab in Forms Properties. This is where you would input the event description, find the direct link, QR code and website embed information for communicating, marketing and displaying your event among other things. Click here to watch the 5-minute video going over what you will find in that tab.
You can access the full manual and resources here. As always, if you have additional questions, you can contact your Success Manager directly or email the Success team at clientcare@faithdirect.net. |
Last Call: Fall into eGiving Campaign
Fall is a time of settling into new routines, which makes it an excellent time to engage with your parishioners about how they give. Faith Direct has created a communication plan to remind your parishioners that eGiving is an easy, convenient, and secure way to support St. John Demo Church!
You can use our materials to complement your stewardship efforts this season:
- Downloadable email copy with an uplifting message that inspires your parish families to embrace eGiving. The email copy is available in English here and in Spanish here. Please feel free to modify the copy to best reflect your parish’s ministries and priorities.
- Three downloadable options of our Fall eGiving Social Media Kit with images for use on your social media channels and in the church bulletin.
Simply reply to this email or contact your Success Manager directly and Faith Direct will send the fall eGiving email on your behalf. Make sure to include your edits to the email copy (if any) and a spreadsheet of your parishioners' email addresses. Faith Direct respects the privacy of your parishioners and will not send this email without your permission.
Based on the success of previous email campaigns Faith Direct has offered, we believe St. John Demo Church will see a welcome increase in eGiving enrollment, which will allow you to empower your mission and do more for the families and communities you serve. |
