THE
2008 OFFERING —ESSENTIAL TO UMCOR
You and your congregation can join United
Methodists worldwide during the one Sunday each year, March 2008, by
making a special offering through One Great Hour of Sharing to support
humanitarian aid through UMCOR. You can be assured that when catastrophes
cause suffering, your church, impelled by Jesus' love and compassion, will
be in the lead to ease the pain.
Gifts to this offering underwrite UMCOR's "costs of
doing business." That helps us keep our promise that 100 percent of
every other gift you make to a specific UMCOR project can be spent on that
project-not on home office costs.
UMCOR is a good steward of God's gifts. Offering gifts
over and above those used to cover administrative costs are channeled where
they're most needed. UMCOR's specialized ministries-responding in disaster,
fighting hunger, alleviating poverty, providing relief supplies around the
world, and offering hospitality to immigrants and refugees-all assist the
most vulnerable people whose need is greatest.
