REMINDER FOR END OF THE YEAR CONTRIBUTIONS: A contribution is effective when delivered; this means that a check deposited in the church offering in January of 2019 cannot be included in 2018 even if it is backdated to 2018. There is one exception – checks that are mailed and postmarked in 2018 are deductible in 2018 even though not received until 2019. Non-mailed end of year contributions need to be in the church office by midnight on December 31st.
