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 2020 cannot be included in 2019 even if it is backdated to 2019. There is one exception – checks that are mailed and postmarked in 2019 are deductible in 2019 even though not received until 2020. Non-mailed end of year contributions need to be in the church office by midnight on December 31st.
