I was intrigued when Courtney (CCM's Assistant) informed us last month that she figured out a way to save our department over $6000. (Now THAT'S a way to get my attention!) So Travis, Don, and I met with her to hear what she had to say. It turns out that it costs over $6600 every year to print and mail out missionary newsletters! Who knew? Courtney went on to explain how sending out newsletters in digital PDF format not only will save us (and the missionaries) significant money, it will also make it easier for people to access multiple newsletters and learn about ministries beyond those they already support. So here's the plan: each CGGC congregation and all current individual supporters will be receiving a response card to fill out and return to us (either via the post office or e-mail). Here's what it looks like: So keep an eye out for this card in your mail. Make sure to ask your pastor about it, and maybe volunteer to be the Missions Contact person for your church!
Let's go digital, and save money, time, and a few trees in the process. THANK YOU, COURTNEY!
