Advent is coming! Yes, it's just October, but we know many
pastors and congregations like to plan ahead.
Advent worship resources
(prayers, wreath liturgy, Bible study, and sermon starters) are now
available!
Download the file here.
And in a couple weeks, we'll have information about
some adorable
teddy bears and pajamas you can order as Christmas gifts
that also benefit Imagine No Malaria.
Meanwhile, start letting
friends and family know that if they want to make a one-time gift to
Imagine No Malaria, consider doing so on
Giving Tuesday, December 3. We recently learned that
The Advance will MATCH EVERY GIFT made through their website on that day! Local churches can be credited, and gifts can be made in honor or in memory of someone. To make your gift count double,
make sure to give at this page on that day. (You can also click on the
"Giving Tuesday" tab on this site, above and to the right, which will take you directly to the page.)
If you haven't heard much about
The Advance
before, it's just one of the channels for giving to important United
Methodist projects around the world like Imagine No Malaria:
The
Advance is an official program of The United Methodist Church for
voluntary, designated, second-mile giving. Through The Advance, United
Methodist annual conferences, districts, local churches, and
organizations, as well as individuals and families, may choose to
support mission programs or mission personnel with their financial
gifts. Each Advance project has been vetted and approved by Global
Ministries and Advance staff.
