UMCOR
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
On behalf of the United Methodist Church, United Methodist committee on Relief (UMCOR) brings hope and aid when a catastrophe strikes.
We rush to disaster areas all over the world with aid. And along with food, clothing, shelter and medical help, we stay to assist survivors
rebuild lives. That's what United Methodists do in response to God's love. From helping soldiers reintegrate into their communities as
productive citizens to feeding school children to establishing medical clinics in remote villages, we are hope for millions in over 80 of the
poorest countries in the world.
Here's why your gifts are so important:
"the One Great Hour of Sharing offering is absolutely essential to UMCOR" says the Rev. Paul Didrak, the agency's chief executive.
"UMCOR receives no World Service funds or any other apportionments. Through their gifts to the offering, United Methodists can assure
that when catastrophes cause suffering, you church, impelled by Jesus' love and compassion, will be in the lead to ease the pain."
Your gifts work 3 ways:
Keeping the Lights On ---Gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing underwrite UMCOR's"cost of doing business," so that 100 % of every dollar
you donate to a specific UMCOR project and not on home office administrative costs.
Fill-in Fundraising --- 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 --- to assist the most vulnerable people whose need is greatest. Donations to the One Great Hour of
Sharing offering also assists UMCOR programs that have not been fully funded through designated Advance gifts.
Answering Jesus' call --- Jesus promised to be with us always, "to the very end of the age." And Jesus extends this call to us to "be there"
as well --- to be the hands and heart of the church wherever people are suffering. Your gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing, channeled
through the United Methodist Committee on Relief, enable the church to answer that call.
