Mission Opportunities
Hurricane Relief
UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own. If you would like to contribute to the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene, you may either give to the church and clearly mark that it is for Hurricane Helene (UMCOR Disaster Response and Recovery United States #901670) or contribute at https://umcmission.org/advance-project/901670/
The great thing about UMCOR is that 100% of all the money you give goes directly to the cause. There is no overhead.
World Communion Sunday – Oct. 6
The United Methodist Church has a special offering every year on World Communion Sunday. Your gift marked “World Communion Sunday” empowers a diverse mix of national and international ethnic young adults to make a global impact for Christ.
Our "noisy offering" in the cow cans on the 3rd Sunday of the month is for Heifer Project, International. This project gives farm animals and training to struggling farmers around the world. These farmers, in turn, give the first female off-spring to a struggling neighbor who then does the same. The gift keeps giving for generations.
"Backpack Buddies" on the first Sunday of the month helps feed hungry students on the weekends and during holidays when schools are closed. This program is coordinated by the Gladstone/Rapid River Kiwanis Club.
Donate your GFS points and/or Elmer's points: MUMC uses these points to offset grocery costs for projects like Bay Campus Ministries meals and other events at the church.
