What else can we do?
Put kits together! Whether your youth group, children’s Sunday school, weeknight Bible study, UWIF/UMM meetings, the work of UMCOR is for folks of all ages!
● Consider highlighting the work of UMCOR in your offering time during worship, in your church newsletter, as a youth group lesson, or wherever makes sense in the life of your
church community leading up to the district drop off day.
● Offer a blessing over the materials and completed kits and pray for the communities that will receive them, for the hands that will deliver them, and for all who continue to heal from natural disasters.
● Identify a point of contact who will help lead Kits for Conference efforts at your local church and help coordinate completed kits from your local church to your district drop off site. Please note: in the event that your church needs to rent a vehicle to help transport kits from your church to the district drop off site, financial support is available to help offset that cost through the Missional and Community Engagement Office. Please contact Rev. Jo Ann Batteiger at joannbatteiger@vaumc.org with your request.
● Celebrate what you’ve done! Take pictures, post about it on social media, and share in the excitement of serving together.
