This is an extraordinary season of waiting.

Our normal activities are suspended. Grocery stores are out of hand sanitizer. Restaurants are closed. Worship is being offered online by churches, including The Fount.

Perhaps you are anxious about community, your health or the health of loved ones. Or how you will stay connected with the larger world. It is a time of unknowns. It is a time of waiting.

For 80 years, at home and abroad, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) has alleviated the suffering of men, women, and children who do not have the privilege of waiting. Their needs are immediate.

Despite our uncertainty, we can be sure of this: God has called us to serve the poor, the suffering, and the disenfranchised.

Take courage. Stay connected. Stand in solidarity with those whose needs cannot wait. Make a gift on UMCOR Sunday.

Even as we are distanced from one another, we can support one another with a gift to UMCOR today. Drop a check in the mail to: The Fount, 18225 Bushard Street, Fountain Valley, CA  92708 or give a gift online. Designate your gift for “UMCOR Sunday”, and thank you for caring!
