This is an easy way to give to the Discipleship Ministry Team and it won’t cost you ANYTHING extra.
The Discipleship Ministry Team continues to look for new ways to help financially support the ministries it offers, one of the most recent discoveries is through AmazonSmile. Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. Sometimes this percentage goes up on special occasions or promotions Amazon has. This may not sound like a lot, BUT if we ALL choose Ministry Council of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church as our charity of choice it could go a long way.
First-time users, how do you do this?
- Go to smile.amazon.com log into your Amazon account. If you already have an Amazon account use your same credentials/login username and password. If you do not have an Amazon account you can create one if you’d like to start using the site.
- Once Logged in, hover your mouse over the button that says “Your Account” and a drop-down menu will appear.
- In the drop-down menu choose “Change Charity”.
- This screen will ask you to choose one of the Spotlight Charities and below this, there is an option to “Choose your own charitable organization”. In the search box type “Ministry Council of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church”. Then click on “Select”
Extra Tip:
If you use the Amazon app on your phone because you are never on your computer when you think of the things you need to remember to buy please know that by purchasing items through the Amazon app you will not be using smile.amazon. The app doesn’t allow you to shop with smile.amazon.
We know the app is convenient so we encourage you to still use it, however, after adding everything you want to buy from the app, leave it in your cart. Then when you are at your computer again use the bookmark link you created from the steps above and all the things in your cart are saved from the app. It is possible to use the internet browser on your phone such as safari or chrome to go to smile.amazon.com to make purchases as well.
