      <![CDATA[<h3>iMarriage Seminar at VNC</h3>
<p>An all day marriage seminar for married couples, engaged couples, or those of you who might someday fit into one of those categories. $35 per couple includes workbook, lunch, and snacks.</p>
<br>
<p>If we're honest, we'll admit that we all approach marriage with a set of desires and wishes that we hope will be realized as a result of forming a union with our spouse. We have ideas about when we'll have children, how we'll spend time together, and what lifestyle we'll enjoy</p>
<br>
<p>But what happens when our dreams for marriage fail to materialize? What if your partner never gets around to doing his or her part so you can finally experience life as you've always envisioned it? What if your ideas for life as a married person collide with your partner's ideas? We'll look at four common responses when our box full of dreams gets shelved. And we'll discover the difference between putting your heart and soul into a marriage and pouring it into the person you love.</p>
<br>
<p>Note: This seminar is part of the Engaged Counseling required for couples being married by any of our VNC Pastors.</p>
<br>
<p>If you are interested in attending, please fill out the <a href="https://public.serviceu.com/RegistrationForm/6419161-245000212/?OrgKey=6d2b0d07-3564-468f-b2b7-379a847efa8c">online registration form</a>. Registration forms can also be found at the VNC office. <strong>Note: There is a $1 service fee for debit and credit card transactions.</strong></p>
<br> 
<p>Contact Pam Anderson for more details at <a href="mailto:pama@valponaz.org">pama@valponaz.org</a> or call 462-2751.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<strong>Why should I give online?</strong>
- Giving is a step of faith. Online giving allows you to decide in advance to give faithfully.
- Giving online can simplify your life. You don't need to worry about whether you've forgotten to give or not.
- Giving online allows you to be consistent, even when you're not at church.
- Giving online allows you to focus on the service at VNC. You can leave your checkbook at home.

<strong>How do I give online?</strong>
View the <a href="http://www.valponaz.org/Online_Giving.pdf" target="new">Online Giving Instructions</a>.

<strong>I clicked the "Give Online" link but nothing happened. What's going on?</strong>
When you click "Give Online", a new browser window should open. If you are using a pop-up blocker, the window may not open. Most tools will allow you to permit pop-ups on a specific web site. You will need to allow pop-ups for www.valponaz.org.

<strong>When would an automatic contribution be charged to my account?</strong>
If you are making a one time payment, your account will be charged as soon as you finish the payment process. If you are scheduling a payment you can choose the days that your account is charged.

<strong>Can I test this whole online giving thing?</strong>
Yes. You do not have to make recurring payments. If you want to test it out simply make a one-time payment (After entering your information on the first payment page, make sure "Neither" is selected in the bottom box. Then push the "Next" button.)

<strong>What is MyStory and Faith Promise?</strong>
In addition to tithing online, you can also contribute towards MyStory and Faith Promise. MyStory is our building fund, all money that is collected goes towards our current mortgage. Faith Promise is our missions fund, all money that is collected goes towards World Missions.

<strong>How do I know how much I have contributed?</strong>
The church sends out contribution statements in January  stating how much was given the previous year. Information about your giving is available upon request. Call the church office if you need an updated statement.

<strong>Can I use my credit card?</strong>
Yes, but we can only accept Visa or MasterCard.

<strong>Can I use an electronic check?</strong>
Yes, you will need your Bank Routing Number and Account Number to use this form of payment.

<strong>Q: Who should I contact if I have questions about my giving?</strong>
Contact our accountant, Denise Tobey at the church office (219) 462-2751 or you can reach her by e-mail (<a href="mailto:deniset@valponaz.org">deniset@valponaz.org</a>).]]>
