šFOR YOUR INFORMATION›

  • Volunteers are needed to stream our services to Facebook and YouTube. We now routinely stream many of our services and need to expand our streaming team. Anyone age 18 or older with some comfort using personal computers is welcome to join our small team for this fun and important ministry. We will teach you everything you need to know, but it's really not hard to do this. Please contact Chris Brown to volunteer (cbrown@pohick.org), or talk to him any time he's around, or stop in the church office when a service is being streamed and speak with whomever is streaming the service at that time.

 

  • FROM THE FINANCE OFFICE: Frequently asked questions?
  1. Where are my envelopes?  
  2. How can I make my offering to Pohick?
  3. I pledged, now what?"
  4. I don't remember how much I pledged?
  • Pohick is no longer purchasing pre-printed envelopes.  Please use the generic ones in the pews or just drop your check in the collection bag.
  • Better yet, consider online giving through MyEOffering.  It's easy, just go to our website and click the "Give" tab then scroll down to "MyEOffering".

     -If you pledged a new amount for 2026, please be sure to make the adjustment by check or go to MyEOffering to make the necessary change.  (I can assist with this.) Your donation is not "automatically" increased.  We can't touch your account. (You wouldn't want us to be able to do that!)

  • October seems like a long time ago!  Call me and I will be happy to let you know how much you pledged, and what the monthly amount would be.

I'm always here to help and would be happy to answer any other questions you may have. Julie Ramacciotti, Finance Administrator
