Sunday School

On a recent trip I met a young passenger who discussed the "fee" for Sunday School. When he found out that I taught Sunday School...he said "When you go to Sunday school, you have to pay a dollar".

I laughed out loud, or (LOL) in teenage terminology.

and yes, Sunday school is a place where sometimes you pay a dollar.

These "Sunday school dollars" are collected and reported as contributions by the Church. It is difficult for donors to receive "credit" for these contributions, because the documentation is not provided with the collection. However, if donors would like to receive a donor statement or acknowledgement by the Church, additional information including "name and amount" should be included with the "Sunday school dollars".

More questions about record keeping for contributions...contact me.
