Despite the quarantine, expenses still must be met. There are several ways you can make your regular donations during the pandemic:

• Mail your checks to the church office. If you want to include a donation to some ministry like CARITAS, please indicate the ministry and the amount on the memo line of your check .

• Drop your donation by the church office during office hours: Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Get yourself a Cash App account and pay securely on line at  $GUMCVA. Funds go straight to each church’s bank account. A statement will go to the respective church financial secretary to record your giving, and your privacy is assured.​
