The Missions Committee has decided to request donations for UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) rather than choose local mission projects this year.
Natural disasters, food insecurity, health issues, and many other issues plague us locally, nationally, and globally. UMCOR responds to disasters in the United States and around the world by working with communities and local partners. When a disaster overwhelms a community’s ability to recover on its own, UMCOR provides essential relief supplies and supports long-term rebuilding efforts. While UMCOR is not a first-response organization, it stands ready to accompany communities in need over the long haul of their recovery until a “new normal” is established after a crisis. “Early in and last out” is a guiding principle of UMCOR.
Please consider giving to UMCOR in this Christmas season. You can go to the Trinity Giving page and make your donation or you can mail a check to Trinity and memo it for UMCOR.
