Sorry if this is a re-post of information, but I just saw this yesterday (as my wife is still fully committed to paying a crapload of our money--yes, on gross--to the church).
New stuff: no more "address" section--replaced with "Membership Record Number" section.
Five categories: Tithing (of course), Fast offering, General missionary, Ward missionary (?), Humanitarian aid, and Other (specify).
The most intriguing part came at the end. I need to dig up old slips to see what it used to say, but here it is:
"Though reasonable efforts will be made globally to use donations as designated, all donations become the Church's property and will be used at the Church's sole discretion to further the Church's overall mission."
So, the days when you thought you could give to a good cause (i.e., NOT tithing) and hope it would end up somewhere good (Perpetual Education? Fast Offerings?) are now over. Here's my money...let's hope you do something good with it.
