Thankful for the blessings! The United Methodist connection has made - and continues to make - an impact around the world. Members of The United Methodist Church faithfully support the global United Methodist connection when giving to the general church funds. The dona-tions of each individual church member, when combined with all members of The United Methodist Church, help us bring peo-ple to Christ. Thank You!
As United Methodist, we are charged to go make disciples. We do that every day when we encounter people in our personal faith journey. We do that each time we support a missionary or one of our colleges, universities and seminar-ies, help eradicate diseases associated with being poor in our world, or support someone’s call to ministry through the general church apportioned funds. Unit-ed Methodists are exhibiting that giving is part of what we are called to do as followers of Jesus Christ. United Methodists are a faithful people of God who continue to walk in unity to be a blessing and to make a difference around the
world. Thank You! Bishop Michael McKee, President General Council on Finance and Administration
