God has given us the greatest gift of all, let’s give back with actions of faith this Season of ThanksGIVING!
From Oct. 25 through November 29th, MUMC celebrates the Season of ThanksGIVING. Thoughout this season of giving, there will be opportunities to show our thanks to God for the many blessings given us by giving back to others. The congregation can provide much needed support to three of our partner agencies – LifeWise StL, Epworth Children & Family Services and Bridge Bread and help create a memorable holiday for their clients.
God has given us the greatest gift of all, so let’s show our thanks by giving back with actions of faith during this Season of ThanksGIVING.
The process for giving will be:
-
- Congretation can pick up a star ornament for the gifts(s) they want to provide for our agencies – RED star = LifeWise; GOLD star = Epworth; SILVER star = Bridge Bread OR use the Gign-up Genius to select gifts to be donated
- Shop for the item listed on the star, or write a check in the designated amount made out to MUMC (listing SOTG and the agency name on the memo line of the check)
- Secure the star to the gift or check and bring the item to the church between Oct. 25th and Nov. 29th, placing the item under the Giving Tree in the narthex.
- Watch our Giving Tree get decorated as glass ornaments are added for the gifts/donations provided.
- Sign up to volunteer at one of the agencies during the holiday season on Sign Up Genius.
