Christmas Offering
Each year, Messiah Church selects two organizations to receive our special Christmas Offering. This year’s Christmas Offering is a gift to IOCP (Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners) and UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief):
Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners (IOCP) is a human service nonprofit that strengthens our Plymouth community by meeting basic needs and equipping families and individuals for ongoing stability. IOCP delivers integrated services that address the basic needs for food, shelter, and clothing, while also connecting people to strengthening services such as affordable housing, quality childcare, and employment. For more information on IOPC, visit iocp.org.
UMCOR, the humanitarian relief and development agency of The United Methodist Church, helps Methodists and churches engage in global ministry to those in need. They assist victims of natural and human-caused disasters in the US and internationally as a source of help and hope. They provide relief, response, and even long-term recovery grants when communities are overwhelmed and unable to recover on their own. UMCOR’s Promise: 100% of ALL donations go directly to disaster relief efforts. For more information on UMCOR, visit umcmission.org.
Give throughout the month of December, online (below) by selecting “Christmas Offering,” or by mailing a check (indicate “Christmas Offering” in the memo) to: Messiah Church, 17805 County Road 6, Plymouth, MN 55447. Our goal is to collect $24,000 for these ministries.
Gifts are distributed evenly, unless designated otherwise.
