Corridor District Christmas Offering

Corridor District Hurricane Relief Christmas Offering

The 2018 Christmas Offering will support the restoration of parsonages and churches devastated by Hurricane Florence in September 2018. When wind and water closed many doors, churches, despite damage, remained open, serving the needs in their communities.

We hope you will give to this very special Christmas offering to restore our churches to worship and ministry. Thank you for your gifts.

When giving, include “S00263 – Corridor Christmas Offering” in the memo line of your check. You can also give online at https://nccumc.org/disaster/
