Updating your contact information can save the church thousands of dollars

By | General Information/News | No Comments

CLICK HERE TO UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION

For our members and parishioners on our monthly paper newsletter mailing list, did you know on average it costs around $3 in materials alone each month, every time you receive the newsletter in the U.S. Mail?

The paper, the printing on the paper, the mailing labels, staples, little sticker tabs to keep the pages together, the postage. We haven’t even calculated in the labor to put it all together in that cost.

You can make a BIG difference saving the church thousands of dollars each year and choose to receive that same monthly newsletter in digital format sent directly to your e-mail address.

All you have to do is visit www.saintsava.net/update and update your contact information that includes a question about how you would like to receive the newsletter – in digital or print format. You’ll even be able to add contact information for everyone in your household so everyone will get their own digital copy of the newsletter.

We’ll ask you some simple questions about your contact information including your e-mail address, home phone, and mobile phone numbers. We also ask for an update on your mailing address because there are still some times when we’ll need to send you something and we want to make sure we’re up-to-date.

You may still choose to receive the monthly newsletter in paper format as you update your contact information. We just know there are many people who may prefer the digital copy and choosing the digital copy saves the church thousands of dollars annually.

The Executive Board is making better communication a priority this year and with your help updating contact information, we’ll build a stronger community together.
