Offering Counters Needed!

 

Delhi UMC is looking for people willing to help count the offering after church on Sundays.  This is a quick and easy way to serve.  If you are interested, please contact the church. 

 

UMCOR Supply Kits help to care for the most vulnerable people during times of crisis. They also help to sustain everyday life by providing basic necessities to people who lack ready access to essential supplies. These kits provide vital support for the work UMCOR does throughout the world. By donating kit supplies or financial gifts to purchase the supplies, you make a direct, tangible difference in sustaining people's lives.

Help FILL THE TRUCK this year with many needed items that will be appreciated by people around the world.  Flood buckets, sewing kits, school kits, and health kits are being prioritized this year.  The contents of these kits are very specific.  For a detailed list of needed items and how to make them into a kit, please see the forms posted in the entryway. 

All kits and bulk items will be accepted at the annual conference June 5-8.  You may bring any kits or bulk items to the church and we will see that they get delivered.  For more information, contact the church, or visit www.sagerbrown.org.
