SERVING THE WORLD
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is the aid organization of the United Methodist Church that responds to tragedies and ongoing crisis. They are the first ones handing out flood buckets and health kits when a flood or hurricane or tsunami hits, and they are there helping people rebuild their lives long after other aid organizations have gone home. As a church we give financially to UMCOR and we also volunteer so that we can literally reach out our hands to help others.
Rev. D. Yang will be our new missionary to support. Rev. Yang is an ordained elder in the Minnesota United Methodist Conference is a missionary in SE Asia, fulfilling a longing to “serve God’s people overseas – to witness, make disciples of Jesus, recruit and train more people to serve God through our United Methodist Church.” He came to the U.S. in 1967 with a grandfather from Laos (father was missing in action) and eventually became a part of the Hmong United Methodist Community in Minnesota.
Missions takes up a Communion Offering each month that goes to a local, national, or international ministry that we support. Our April Communion & Easter Offering to UMCOR Ukraine Disaster Relief will receive our gifts of $1,974. In May, our Communion Offering will go to the Minnesota Love Offering.
