PRE-AUTHORIZED REMITTANCE (PAR) (Download the form)
Cochrane Street congregation receives no money except that contributed by the supporters of the congregation and by fund-raising efforts. Whether you attend church or not, the bills have to be paid. Salaries, utilities, insurance, assessments to East District of the United Church, outreach, both local and further away, maintenance and repairs all have to be paid in a timely manner. We all expect our church to be available - for a wedding, a baptism, a funeral, regular Sunday services or special ones such as Christmas and Easter.
Our Treasurer, Stephen Jones, says that the easiest way to donate to Cochrane Street United Church is to join the 42 families who currently belong to PAR . This allows us to take your offering directly from your bank account once a month. It is easier for you, because you don't have to remember your envelope and search for money every week, and it is easier for the church, because we know what moneys we will be receiving.
If you would like a card to put in the collection plate we can willingly provide them, but Stephen says that his own experience is that he forgets that as well! If you would like to join PAR, please complete the form which is available at both entrances to the church and either send or give it to the Treasurer or put it in the collection plate on Sunday (in a sealed envelope).

SCENT SENSITIVE: Due to increased expression of health and allergy concern, we are asked to become "scent-sensitive" at Cochrane Street. In the interest of your church friends who have reactions to perfumes and colognes, you are asked NOT to wear such fragrances. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Canadian Tire Money - give to any member of the group, drop in mail box on Cochrane Street, put in offering plate.

Recycling - drop at any of the Evergreen Recycling depots - tell the worker that you wish your refund deposited to Time Out For Women, Cochrane Street United Church

Preserving Bottles: Please recycle your 250 ml preserving bottles to the kitchen at the church. Thank you
