In our work for the congregation we make decisions about funding, program and new activities. We approved an extra $55.80 to UMCOR’s “One Great Hour of Sharing” because we added 10% to your individual giving, almost $600 We gave, on your behalf, $50 to the Native American Awareness Sunday offering We voted $250 to both MiddSummer Lunch & Recreation & Charter House projects We will give $100 to Camp Ta Kum Ta, a camp for children afflicted with cancer and $100 to Covenant Hills’ Camp Agape, a camp for VT children whose parents are incarcerated Our Mother’s Day Sunday celebrations offering will be donated to Women’s Safe. Outreach will also add 10% to this amount. And to Jeremias Franca, Moszmbique Missionary Administrator, 3.5% from the 2011 Endowment Fund for Chicuque Hospital – $250.
These donations are possible through individual contributions, the Sunday Celebrations Fund, the United Methodist Men’s Chicken Dinners and other past gifts ...
