Giving Tuesday:

For Tanzania!

During the "Together We Can" Sermon Series, Pastor Cam introduced the Annual Conference's "For Tanzania" Campaign as a way that United Methodists can work together to have a real impact in communities around the world. The goal among in our Annual Conference is to raise $100,000 to build a new church in the city of Dar Es Salaam and to help pay Tanzanian pastors a living wage. That goal breaks down to each NJ church raising about $500. Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity for us to support this collaborative effort and to spread hope around the world! Stay tuned to our social media and to your email on Nov. 28th for more information about the campaign and how to support it!
