A couple of years ago, I logged into my Amazon account and signed up for AmazonSmile. It cost me nothing. All I needed to do was select Wesley United Methodist Church in Bethlehem, PA, and a portion of everything I bought on Amazon would go to Wesley Church. I am not a frequent Amazon shopper, but an occasional one. Last year, just by shopping on their website, Amazon donated $52.89 to our church from my purchases. Imagine if we had 50 people sign up for this! If you are looking for a way to give more to church, here is a simple way. Sign up with the link below and start earning money for ministry and mission (or carpet) for our church. Once you create the account, bookmark it so that you are always using your AmazonSmile account for your purchases. Twice a year, Amazon will send you a reminder to choose Wesley as your charity.

Simple as that! ~ Sue Kiefner
