Giving

To get signed up on Venmo, go to https://venmo.com and click to sign up with Facebook or with your email address. Once signed up, add "Tolt Congregational United Church of Christ" to make a donation or pay your pledge. Please add a note in the Memo portion of your payment to indicate if it is earmarked for your pledge, or for any other specific purpose. The Venmo name is "Tolt Congregational United Church of Christ". The Venmo handle is "ToltCongregational-UnitedChurc", (I guess the length limit cut off before the h at the end?). If you already have Venmo set up, this link might work: https://venmo.com/ToltCongregational-UnitedChurc. Or you could try the QR code shown here with your smartphone. By the way, there is a separate Venmo account for Scrip, please see the "How To Buy Scrip" section below for that one.

Venmo is slightly preferred over PayPal, from the church's point of view, because PayPal takes a small cut out of your donation, and Venmo does not take a cut. But PayPal is also available if for whatever reason you are not able to use Venmo.

What is Scrip? It's the easiest way to raise money for Tolt's ministries by using gift cards for your purchase of everything you already buy anyway – groceries, gas, you name it! The church purchases gift cards at a discount, varying from 1% to 16% of the card’s value. When you purchase these gift cards at face value, the church keeps the difference. Some cards can be registered on the scrip website and then reloaded through our scrip program. Reloads are fast and easy when payments are made by Venmo.

The best way to pay for Scrip is to use a special Venmo account which has the Venmo name "Tolt Church Scrip Account" and the Venmo handle "Toltscrip". If you already have Venmo set up, this link might work: https://venmo.com/Toltscrip. Paying for Scrip by sending funds to that particular Venmo account will automatically inform our current Scrip coordinator, Heidi, and she will process your order pretty quickly that way. If you can't use Venmo, contact Heidi to work out an alternate payment method. When we have in-person services, this is usually very easy to do during Coffee Hour.
