Communion Offering This Weekend |
| Communion Offering
for Rural Life/Golden Cross Sunday
The Golden Cross Program supports health ministries in the United Methodist Church. Funds are raised from offerings gathered on an annual Golden Cross Sunday in United Methodist congregations. The Golden Cross program began early in the history of Methodism in America, primarily to support church-related hospitals and long-term health care facilities. The Evangelical United Brethren Church also collected offerings to support its health-care institutions. When the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged in 1968, the Golden Cross Sunday offering was continued as a way to support the new denomination's health-care ministries.
Rural Life Sunday is a time for Methodists to gather together to celebrate and recognize the ministry of rural congregations, many of which are without significant financial resources yet still harness the enthusiasm, gifts and talents of their people to do good work within their communities and with other churches. This special day also encourages rural, suburban and urban churches to get to know one another, exchange stories about their encounters with God, and realize how much they share in common. |

Who: Executives, Professionals, Students, Recent Graduates. Anyone who is interested in a methodology to help them find hidden employment opportunities during a tough job market.
What: A one-hour presentation on what specific actions you can take to find a new job opportunity.
When: Wednesday, July 22, at 6:30pm
Where: First United Methodist Church-Room 117
Why: The resources available for job seekers on "How to Write a Resume" or "How to Answer Interview Questions" are endless.

Our unique presentation will provide you with proven tools and insights you can put into use immediately to start creating interview opportunities.
