UMCOR Sunday is March 19

Hello Trinity Family. This Sunday is UMCOR Sunday. Here is a description of UMCOR Sunday from the CNUMC website:

” UMCOR Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate and support the missions and outreach of the United Methodist Church.  This special offering is how UMCOR funds their core operations.  That way, when we give to a specific need, such as the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, 100% goes directly to that need.  None of those donations go to operate UMCOR.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief, known as UMCOR, is the humanitarian aid and development arm of our denomination.  It operates in four major areas:

–    Relief, such as emergency food and supplies in times of famine, drought, and geopolitical crisis.
–    Disaster Response, immediate and long-term support for natural disasters.
–    Sustainable Development, programs focused on areas such as clean water, sanitation, food security, climate change and global migration.
–    And Global Health, education, and programs for priorities such as eliminating malaria.

Examples of UMCOR’s impact this past year include:
–    Relief work in the Ukraine
–    Disaster responses in Tonga and Haiti
–    Recovery from Hurricane Ian in Florida
–    Tornado recoveries in the Southern States
–    Refugee resettlement ”
