The mission offering for March will go to “One Great Hour of Sharing”, a special offering that Methodists around the world participate in. Your gifts to this cause underwrites UMCOR'S "cost of doing business". This offering assures that 100% of every other dollar given to a designated program goes directly to that program. This is also the only fund UMCOR uses to support local disasters that do not receive an "advance number". Any money received above and beyond what is needed for these expenses, is then channeled to those in greatest need. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask Pastor Brian or Karen Johnson about this offering.
