Appalachia Service Project (ASP)
Devastating flooding in Appalachia
Our hearts are heavy as we share the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on our service area. Your support will be crucial in the days ahead as we step in to assist with disaster recovery efforts, both immediately and in the months to come. Please consider giving today to help our neighbors begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
Alleviating suffering all over the world
As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief – UMCOR – assists United Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – Famine, Hurricane, War, Flood, Fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development. Additionally, UMCOR supports migrants through legal and humanitarian support, as well as through global advocacy.

Our October Special Second Offering is for WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY
WHAT IS WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY?
.
World Communion Sunday is a denomination-wide celebration emphasizing the value of education and training. We commemorate this day by giving generously to support young adults and make a global impact for Christ. Half of the offering benefits World Communion scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students from the U.S. and other countries. The remainder provides grants to support training for worldwide inclusion, diversity, equity, and access.
.
Your gift is a practical expression of care, equipping students to shape a hopeful future. Supporting United Methodist students offers both financial and spiritual encouragement, demonstrating the church's confidence in their potential. On World Communion Sunday, we join ecumenically in acknowledging our unity in Christ as we gather around His table.

Churches are encouraged to donate through their local churches
