God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. For example, people no longer bring goats, sheep, calves and grain to God as they did in the Old Testament. Giving money is simpler, cleaner and theologically sounder since Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice. As the way that money is exchanged changes, we at Delta are extending members a new way to offer their financial gifts to God.
Anyone who would like to give to Delta online is welcome to do so through our church website.
At Delta, we'll continue to take an offering during the service for people who prefer to give by cash or check. You may also mail a check to Delta UMC at 6285 Hawkins Corners Road, Rome, NY 13440. For those who'd rather transfer money electronically, though, giving through the church website is an option.
Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). At Delta, we want to encourage all to pray about giving and give as God leads them. For those who prefer an online way to give, the church website now offers one.
