A nonprofit agency of the United Methodist Church, UMCOR reaches worldwide to provide relief in five core areas: Hunger, Health, Refugees, Emergencies, and Relief Supplies. Since 1940 UMCOR has served people in almost 100 countries around the world. The organization is designed such that 100% of all donations are channeled directly to the earmarked project or relief effort. Therefore, UMCOR does very little advertising and is not as well-known as other relief organizations. When UMCOR was first formed, the mission was to provide relief in disaster areas, aiding refugees and confronting the challenge of world hunger and poverty. Today the agency s mission has changed very little. According to the United Methodist Book of Discipline, UMCOR s current responsibility is To provide immediate relief of acute human need and to respond to the suffering of persons in the world caused by natural, ecological, political turmoil and civil disaster. For more than 50 years, United Methodist congregations have been taking part in a special UMCOR Sunday offering, laying the foundation for UMCOR s ministry of relief and hope. Donations UMCOR receives through this offering cover our costs of doing business. Gifts like yours make it possible for UMCOR to use 100% of all other contributions on the projects our donors specify, instead of on administrative or fundraising costs. Because of your donation, we re ready to respond in times of crisis. BIBLE BOWL! Wednesday, April 11, 6:00 7:15 p.m. in the CUMC Family Life Center Gym for 3-year-olds 4 th graders!
