There are currently four ways to make your contributions to GMUMC: • Send checks by mail to Gray Memorial United Methodist Church, PO Box 69, Caribou, ME 04736. Include your offering envelope if you have one. • By EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) via VANCO--several people have already chosen this method for recurring gifts. If you are interested in this method, please contact Shirley Bowman, 493-1039, to set up an EFT. • By the Vanco Mobile app. You can download the Vanco Mobile (formerly GiftPlus) from the Apple App Store or from Google Play. This method supports both recurring and one-time gifts. All VANCO methods include a nominal service fee for the church. Many people choose the options provided by VANCO for convenience and, for the electronic options, to ensure their gifts are always regularly given. Because of regular giving, research shows churches receive more funds overall using these methods. Contact the church office for more information on giving options.
