Christmas Offering 2022- Congo Partnership

Picture
​This year's Christmas Offering will go to the Congo Partnership, an organization that provides life-giving services to hundreds of children, seniors and others in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Congo Partnership is a collaboration of the United Methodist Conference in Delaware and Southeast Pennsylvania, and the United Methodist Conference in the Central Congo Episcopal Area.

You may support our Christmas offering in many ways: can use your designated Christmas envelopes, give electronically through our website, use the kiosk in the back of the Church, or give at one of our Christmas Eve services. (Please make checks payable to Congo Partnership and designate Project in the memo.) Funds beyond our goal of $10,000, will go towards the general account of our Church.
