Bishop Bruce R. Ough’s Thanksgiving Appeal

Funds collected will go to: UMCOR’s response to Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria UMCOR is responding to the devastation of these storms. One hundred percent of donated funds go directly to relief efforts.

Hurricane Maria was catastrophic to Puerto Rico.

The people of Puerto Rico will be without power for over six months.

Hurricane Irma has claimed the lives of 44 people.

Irma recovery efforts will take more than five years Irma recovery efforts will take more than five years. UMCOR will go to less populated areas and areas receiving less attention.

Tropical storm Harvey has captured the world’s attention.

Recovery teams are responding by mucking out homes and rebuilding.

I encourage all Minnesota congregations to receive a special Thanksgiving offering in November. –Bishop Bruce R. Ough

It is our turn to respond to God’s call to help our neighbor It is our turn to respond to God’s call to help our neighbor. May we respond to the Lord with gratitude and humbleness.
