Canvassing is a time to gather information and feed backs on a large number of issues. These feed backs are important to understand the culture of the congregation. Have special campaign funds for example, Memorial Garden, Pipe Organ, Building renovation, special outreach projects etc. Some people are willing to contribute to something concrete that they can see. Once they start giving to one thing, they will likely to give to others.
Generosity breeds generosity.
In order to encourage continual giving, we need to provide comprehensive reports periodically. People need to know that their money are being used wisely. There have been 551 accesses to this page since June 25, 1999.
