UMCOR SUNDAY - MARCH 10, 2024
The United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters throughout the world 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. Today, Methodist churches everywhere take up a special offering to cover UMCOR’s operation costs so that 100% of donations received in response to emergency appeals go directly to communities in need. For more information about UMCOR visit stlukesumc.com/AboutUMCOR
