- Giving to Wyoming UMC
New!!! Online Giving!
Wyoming UMC has made arrangements with Vanco Services to
enable the same kind of online payment services offered by utility companies,
banks, insurance companies, etc. While we encourage online giving for a
variety of reasons, you may continue to give as you have in the past.
WHY? There are a number of
benefits to online giving.
1.
Flexibility - weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly donations
2. Choices – how much, what fund, how
much – it’s up to you
3. Security
- protects your bank account information
4. Efficiency - eliminates counting
and data input by the bookkeeper
5.
Green – eliminates paper storage at the church office
6. Planning – provides for better
budgeting and cash management
7.
Budgeting - easier personal budgeting for you

What is a Special Gift?
Weddings, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, the arrival of a new child or
the passing of a loved one are important milestones on life’s journey. More and
more, people are looking to make lasting gifts to the church to mark these
special occasions. And with the move to our new building, there will be an
abundance of opportunities to honor individuals or events with meaningful gifts
to the church and its ministries.
How will donations be handled?
Cash donations made in honor of a living individual / celebration or in memory
of a loved one will be kept in a Special Gifts Fund to be used for appropriate
items to help the church carry forward its mission in the community. A Special
Gifts Team has been named to oversee the process, and maintain a current list of
appropriate items needed by the church. The team will be in charge of receiving,
recording and acknowledging all gifts and will present regular updates to the
Church Council. Cash gifts will be kept in an interest bearing account until
spent for their intended purpose. (The detailed Special Gifts Policy is
available in the church office.)
How will gifts be acknowledged?
All memorial plaques from the old church will become part of this permanent
display. All donors of Special Gifts will be acknowledged with an inscribed
plaque of equal size (approximately 1” by 3”) to be placed on a display board in
the Memorial Room of the new building. The display boards will be designated:
In Honor of
... to celebrate births,
graduations, weddings, anniversaries and tributes to living persons
In Memory of ... to mark the death of
a loved one
To the Glory of God ... to acknowledge
all individuals and families who have already made donations to the new building
or do so through future pledges.
