We always hear about UMCOR- The United Methodist Committee on Relief. When there is a tragedy in the world, they quickly jump into achtion and organize funding and relief. All of this important work is done without siphoning any funding from the donations in order to pay for overhead costs. ALL of the donations given to UMCOR for a specific project go dreitly to the relief effort.
How does that work? The committee’s overhead costs are funded by one annual offering, called “One Great Hour of Sharing.” That ofering is on Sunday March 15. Special envelopes are available in the Narthex.
Please help support our church’s ability to spring into action whenever a disaster occurs.

- Share the UMCOR 75th anniversary video [above] and receive the ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING offering which supports UMCOR. Each church was sent offering envelopes and we invite you to hand them out this weekend and invite people to give.
