Your church is now up to speed with e-giving, allowing your members to use a mobile giving app, text-to-give, and online giving.

I remember several years ago when ChurchMag Senior Staff Writer Rachel Miedema asked if she could write a Saturday Morning Review for the newly released Xbox One game: Forza Horizon 2.
It was the first post of its kind; and while I enjoyed video games myself, I hadn’t ever thought about posting a review of a video game on ChurchMag before.
The truth is, we were already reviewing some books, music, and sometimes movies, so adding another medium was a no-brainer. Especially when you consider the role video games play in our geek culture.
