  (If you know your offering envelope number, include that as well.)  Also include whether the offering is for the Chinese Ministry or the English Ministry.
• Most eTransfers will be automatically deposited to Trinity's bank account, but occasionally the donor needs to provide a security question so we can complete the transfer. 
  If you need to provide a security question when sending the eTransfer, send a separate email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to let us know the answer.
• Some financial institutions will let you set up an eTransfer recipient as a regular payee, and you can schedule a recurring offering (for example: give a specific amount monthly).
• No fees to Trinity.  Nor are there fees to the donor when eTransfers sent from most personal chequing accounts (please confirm with your financial institution).  When eTransfers are sent, 100% of your gift goes to Trinity's ministry.

              Trinity Lutheran Church
              7100 Granville Avenue
              Richmond, BC V6Y 1N8
• Single or multiple post-dated cheques may be dropped off at the church office.  If nobody is there, simply slide an envelope, with the cheques inside under the office door.  If the church is locked, use the mail slot located in the front wall of the church (beside the large stain glass window).
• Include donor's name, address and contact info (email address or phone number).

When asked, Christians invariably say their family and their faith are the two most precious things in their life.  In response to this, many individuals are now including the church as one of the beneficiaries within their estate.  For those in a marital relationship, such gifts would be given from the estate of the second-to-die, so as not to impact the financial needs of the surviving spouse. Lutheran Foundation Canada’s Gift Coordinators will assist individuals considering such a gift (at no charge), to maximize the tax savings to the estate, and to ensure the gift is directed appropriately to the ministries of your choice.
