What if you could honor or remember a loved one this Advent Season by giving a gift that really makes a difference in the world?
The Worship Committee has been offering an alternative for those who want to help with missions. This year we will continue that holiday tradition of giving by Poinsettias With A Purpose. A minimum donation of $20.00 will support this year's missions, CarePortal and the NSUMC Pastor's Discretionary Fund.
CarePortal creates connections with Circles of Care around a vulnerable children in need, bringing together the family, church, and community to create a holistic, healthy approach to caring for kids. Requests submitted through CarePortal come from caseworkers at government child welfare agencies or other child-serving organizations approved by CarePortal.
The NSUMC Pastor's Discretionary Fund is used by the clergy and leadership at NSUMC to assist and support people in need, as well as other ministerial expenses. In the past year, this fund has helped people to pay for their rent, medical bills, gas for their vehicle, food and groceries, and much more. As the economic condition of our country worsens, this fund will be especially needed in the days to come.
To commemorate your gift we will place a poinsettia ornament on our Christmas tree in the Sanctuary. You can donate here online from November 27 through December 18, or drop your order form in the donation box at Church.
Your name and the name of the person(s) for which the donation is in memory or honor will appear in the bulletin on the Sundays before and after Christmas.
