By Joan Hackett
Will your church be a 5 Columns of Mission Church in 2014? There is still time to catch up!
1. Ask if your church collected an offering for One Great Hour of Sharing on March 30 and sent it to the Conference Treasurer.
If not, there is still time as the treasurer will accept money until the end of December for OGHS.
2. Find out which Advance project your church supported in 2014.
If none, then you can choose one of 739+ projects and give online crediting your church – check umcmission.org
3. Did your church give to a specific UMCOR disaster or UMCOR Undesignated in 2014?
If not there is still time to choose which one and give.
