The Thrill of Being Alive
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (Howard Thurman) Generosity and contributing from one’s passion and love is life-giving and life-enhancing. This form is a tangible opportunity to worship and serve God as one who has come alive.
Commitment Sunday is November 26.
We will celebrate Coming Alive and the sharing of our gifts during the Sunday worship experience. Please bring your pledge at that time. You can also mail or drop it off at the church office for your convenience or complete the commitment card online at
Please return your Annual Givings Card
Your annual giving card reflects your offerings and commitment to support your church’s ministry and mission through 2018. We ask that everyone return a commitment card. Each contribution, no matter the size, helps Deer Park to grow and thrive. You can always increase or decrease your commitment if your situation changes by calling our Treasurer. If you have questions regarding this card, call Dave Patterson at (403)278-8263. As you complete your Annual Givings Commitment Card, please select your preferred giving option.
Cash or Cheque:
Please arrange for Offering Envelopes through the office if you do not already have them. And use these for your cash or cheque contributions. If you use the envelopes available in the pews, please be sure you identify “Deer Park”as well as yourself on the envelope or your cheque so your offering will be directed to Deer Park, and Deer Park can provide a record for tax purposes. Your gifts can be placed in the weekly worship offering plate or they may be mailed to Deer Park United Church, 77 Deerpoint Rd. S.E., Calgary, AB, T2J 6W5.
PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance):
PAR is a direct debit program that allows people to support their church through an automatic monthly withdrawal from their bank account or credit card. The national church administers the program following the giver’s wishes and your monthly PAR contribution can be changed at any time. The PAR system helps to regulate the congregations’ income, allowing us to plan and budget for important ministries. If you are away for the summer or winter, this option allows you to keep your commitment without having to catch up when you return. Please contact the office to sign up for PAR. If you are already registered through PAR your current commitment will continue unless you advise our office otherwise.
