VANCO ONLINE GIVING

What is Vanco? Vanco is an online platform that allows church congregations to give more easily than ever. Vanco’s technology connects more than 45,000 faith-based, nonprofit, education organizations, and professional services nationwide. Those who participate in our Stewardship (pledge) Program via credit card or ACH are encouraged to sign up with Vanco because it’s simple to do, it’s secure, and it will save the Center money because Vanco charges us lower fees than our bank does for processing credit card and ACH giving. You can already give through Vanco via the Donation page on the Center’s website. You can visit the Center’s page at Vanco at https://secure.myvanco.com/L-ZWP2 to sign up or you can scan the QR code.

PET FOOD FOR PETS OF THE HOMELESS

PET FOOD FOR PETS OF THE HOMELESS

One of our community projects is to help support the Pet Food collection for the pets of the homeless population. This endearing project is overseen by Shirley and Bill McQuiston. If you have some pet food to share, the donations are received in the side entry door to the Center near the restrooms. We distribute some of this food in gallon size bags to pet owners at the meal served near the Hope Van every fourth Friday. A portion of it is also delivered to a distribution center in Anderson. Cat food donations help to feed our own community of feral cats, too. We align with the neighborhood in trying to capture some of these precious cats so they can be spayed or neutered. All with the heart of love…thank you.

If you enjoy watching the Sunday messages on the Center’s YouTube page, you can now listen to the messages as audio files available on the internet, called podcasts. It’s a great opportunity to either download or listen to them online, on your smart phone when you are traveling, or whenever you want. Here is the address: http://cslredding.libsyn.com/.

If you prefer to listen on iTunes, here is the address: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/center-for-spiritual-living-redding-podcast/id1462158530.

Listening to podcasts has many benefits. Choose a podcast of your choice and be entertained or learn about a specific topic. Many Centers are doing podcasts, so check out what other ministers are teaching!

Why did we choose Liberated Syndication (libsyn) to list our messages? The company pioneered the system to host and publish podcasts in 2004. Since then, it has grown to be the largest leading podcast network with over 7.2 billion downloads in 2017. Libsyn hosts over 50,000 shows with 92 million monthly audience members! That’s a lot of potential listeners!!

After you listen to the podcasts, any feedback for improvement is really appreciated!
