If you would like to make monthly recurring donations to Runnymede United Church, we would be happy to enroll you in our Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR) programme which will do bank account debits. This is used by many of our members as a convenient way to automate monthly donations to the programmes of your choice at Runnymede. You can tell us where to allocate your donations, and you can change your monthly donation amount later, or cancel it if circumstances change. These donations incur no costs to Runnymede.
