Creating Cleaning kits for disaster relief

As United Methodists we put our faith into action.  One way we can serve is through Mission.  United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) makes a difference throughout the world through missionaries, global health, hunger and poverty, water, sanitation and hygiene, education, racial and ethnic ministries and many more missions.  


We at Cedar Mill Christ UMC have decided to take a tiny part in helping out UMCOR and creating cleaning buckets "enabling those affected by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes to begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up." (UMCOR)


You can help by making a monetary donation or gifting the items listed below.  If you are making a monetary donation please write checks to Christ UMC with “UMCOR buckets” in the memo.  You can drop off items on Sunday mornings or during the week in the purple bins in the courtyard.


You can also give at cedarmillchristumc.org/give


All donation items are due back September 19th

Join us for packing the items on 25th at 9am.
