Shumc Times: Celebrate Holy Week With Us!
"And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having
enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work."..2 Corinthians 9:8
Here are notes from two area ministries that received giving and support. The deep
enrichment blesses everyone of our lives as we share what God has entrusted to each one of us. Thank you
from the Outreach Committee.
"Thanks to donors like you, we can provide food, shelter, health care, and clean water to refugees and others
forced to flee their homes. With you help, we can support impoverished communities as they seek to improve
their farming techniques, access reliable sources of safe water, and build a more sustainable
future"
May God bless you for your generosity. Faithfully yours, Rev. John L. McCullough
