There are three opons to consider before ordering your envelopes. Please nofy Cindy Kite (cindy@hbcalive.org or 433-2456) of your choice or indicate your choice on the Communicaon Card. Opon 1: If you are a weekly giver, you will need to check the weekly boxed set. This is a set of boxed envelopes … one for each week of the year along with special oﬀering envelopes throughout the year. Opon 2: If you are a monthly giver, meaning you give just once a month, you need to check the monthly set. A monthly set will have one oﬀering envelope for each month plus special oﬀering envelopes throughout the year. Opon 3: If you give online, with stock donaons or use envelopes that are in the back of the pews, you can opt out of receiving any envelopes.
