CASCADES MISSION TREASURY SERVICE name discontinued

The Presbytery of the Cascades remittance name of CASCADES MISSION

TREASURY SERVICE is no longer a valid remittance payee name for check ac-

ceptance. The CASCADES MISSION TREASURY SERVICE name has been dis-

continued for some time. Since the Presbytery of the Cascades bank accounts are

listed under the full presbytery name, the bank will no longer recognize the CAS-

CADES MISSION TREASURY SERVICE as an alternate business name when in-

cluded in bank deposits.

Effective immediately, please discontinue sending remittance checks to the pres-

bytery office with the name of CASCADES MISSION TREASURY SERVICE as

the payee. Please change your records to remit checks issued for per capita, Pres-

bytery Partnership Giving, or any mission projects of GA, Synod, or Presbytery

only with the “Presbytery of the Cascades” as payee.

Please address any questions you have on this to Cheryl Anderson, Business Man-

ager at 503-227-5486, ext. 207, or by email to cheryl@cascadespresbytery.org.
