Annual dues are payable between January 1st and May 31st of the current year. After May 31st, a $25 late fee will be charged. Clergy Members will be reminded via our Mail Chimp Newsletter late in the year for the following year.
Non-payment of dues or loss of contact for two years will result in your removal from our roles and the termination of your sacramental privileges. In other words, you will not be able to use your Madonna Ministry ordination to perform weddings, baptisms, end of life ceremonies, and others.
The good news is we are currently offering an amnesty program. If non-payment for 2018 has put you two years in arrears, and this is the first time you are in arrears for two years, pay $125.00, by June 1st and, and we will reinstate you through 2019. If you are two years or more in arrears, contact us, and we’ll discuss ways for you to return to the clergy family.

Each of us has a spark of the divine to share with others-be it a kind word, a loving presence, a meal, or other donation. Give of yourself generously.
Madonna Interfaith Community offers a variety of opportunities to donate, over and above the annual dues, to the Ministry directly and the Ministerial Outreach. It is important to note that 100% of your donation is applied directly to the catagory you have indicated. The only exception is if you do not designate a preference, your donation will be applied to the General Operating Fund to defray the administrative costs of maintaining our web presence.
Matching Funds Challenges: From time to time, clergy members will offer a Matching Funds Challenge for a certain period of time offering to match donated funds over a specific time period. Watch our newsletter for those opportunities.
Following is a brief description of the funds we currently have in place:
Sommer Family Humanitarian Fund: Through the Sommer Family Humanitarian Fund your donation will be combined with other Sommer Fund donations and awarded to recipients chosen quarterly by the Sommer Fund Committee. Did you know you can support our beautiful community each time you use purchase on Amazon by choosing smile.amazon.com/ch/23-7088233 ? Donations from the Amazon Smile Program will go directly to the Sommer Humanitarian Fund, so that we can continue our legacy of giving. Be sure to login to your Amazon account using www.smile.amazon.com once you register for this program.
General Operating Fund: You may also choose to support the General Operating Fund Project, which is currently the ongoing Development of our main informational website, our Clergy Directory, and our Membership Forum.
Clergy Dues and Conference Scholarship Fund: This scholarship fund supports our clergy members who need help with paying clergy dues. It also is a program that provides partial financial assistance with conference fees and/or travel or lodging expense to a clergy member who otherwise would not be able to attend.
Clergy Emergency Fund: This is a donation opportunity to support active clergy members who have a financial crisis in their lives. It could be the result of job loss or illness. It happens to the best of us. To be supportive of our sisters and brothers in hard times is a blessing to all concerned.

Here are the current opportunities to mix, mingle and learn with our clergy members. Funds are used to defray the cost of our ZOOM conference room and Educational Outreach expenses.
Sally’s Wednesday Evening Circle: Meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evening at 8 pm Eastern Time, 5 pm Pacific Time for approximately an hour. Presently, Sally is introducing the Biographies of the Ascended Masters from a variety of Spiritual philosophies. Informal discussion follows with input from participants as to the present day relevance of each Ascended Master:
Shirley’s Sunday Service and Meditation: Every Sunday morning Bishop Shirley or one of the Madonna Ministers will lead a short fellowship ZOOM gathering, discussion and guided meditation. An optional small love offering for your participation is greatly appreciated. As with all our outreach events, you do not have to be a Madonna Minister to attend. Please use this link if you would like to be placed on the email list to attend our Sunday Service
Charlie’s Book Club Discussions: From time to time, Bishop Charlie Sommer or one of our other clergy members runs across an inspirational book which is worthy of sharing and discussing. An optional small love offering is a great way to support this ZOOM experience.
Prayer Request Love Offering: The Madonna Interfaith Community has an ongoing Prayer Request Program for those who have need for spiritual support for themselves or loved ones. If you choose to do so, you may submit a small love offering with your request below.
