BWC members called to contribute

to Adullum Community Healthcare Center

This year, in the lead-up to the 2024 Annual Conference Session in May, members of the Baltimore-Washington Conference will be creating a trajectory of hope by supporting the Adullum Community Healthcare Center.

Located at New Waverly UMC in Baltimore, Adullum recognizes that health and faith are inseparable parts of human wholeness and that access to health care is a basic human right. In an innovative ministry of outreach, compassion and medical expertise, they are transforming the city.

But the need is great. According to the Baltimore City Health Department, it is impossible to discuss the health and well-being of Baltimore’s residents without applying the lens of health equity. The mortality rate in Baltimore City is 30 percent higher than the rest of the state and ranks last on key health outcomes compared to other jurisdictions in Maryland.

That’s where you come in. Using an Amazon wish list, individuals, small groups, and congregations are being asked to purchase much-needed supplies that will be used by Adullum’s medical staff to provide care to their patients. The supplies will be delivered directly to the clinic.

You are also invited to contribute funds, which will go to salaries and other needs.

Each time the BWC gathers as the people of Christ for holy conferencing, we embark on a mission project to share the love of Christ with the community. This year, the project will take place before the session and everyone is invited to participate. Like a people with “fire shut up in our bones,” you’re encouraged to give -- with generosity and enthusiasm – because transformed lives transform lives.
