United Methodist Student Day OfferingThe special offering will be taken on Sunday, Nov. 29th (The 1st Sunday in Advent). The offering is one of three special Sundays we will have recognized this year as part of our effort to be a Five Star Church in the Illinois Great Rivers Conference.
Gift of Hope scholarship recipient Emma Kate Kiely grew up on a small farm in Missouri. She and her two younger sisters were involved in many extracurricular activities – 4-H Club, sports and youth group at Clinton (Missouri) United Methodist Church. Thanks to your gifts to the United Methodist Student Day offering, for which we are collecting this Sunday, Nov. 29th, Emma is gaining the necessary skills she needs to become a successful educator. “I am getting the education I need to make sure my future students are prepared to face the everyday challenges life throws at us,” said Emma. |
