Simply Giving
Simply Giving is a program that allows you to support the work of the
church through a semi-monthly or monthly electronic transfer of funds.
In fact, many people today handle some or all of their finances in this
manner. Signing up for Simply Giving is quick and easy, and it can be started or stopped at any
time.
But perhaps its
greatest advantage is consistency in giving. During a typical year all
of us miss worship for reasons of sickness, business, vacations, or
visits to other churches. But Simply Giving allows you to give
consistently each week all year long whether you are here or not. It is
a safe, simple, no hassle way to give and many have found it very much
to their liking.

Stock Gifts
The gifting
of appreciated stock or bonds to Shepherd of the Valley is a great way
to help support the vital ministries of your church, avoid taxation of
your gift and receive a benefit on your tax return for your donation.
The
IRS
allows the direct transfer of stock to the church and allows the donor
to deduct the value of the stock on the day you give it to the church as
a donation on your tax return. You do not have to report the gain in
value of your stock as income. The church can sell the stock with no tax
consequences.
The process of transferring stock is very easy and you can download the instructions to learn more.
Please contact our Finance Office before you begin any paperwork to intitate a transfer, or sign your stock certificates. Beth Karlson, our Financial Manager is available at (952) 432-6351 or by e-mail.
