Participate in the World Thank Offering
Is your local unit making plans to participate in the World Thank Offering this year?
The World Thank Offering is one of the five channels of Mission Giving through United Methodist Women that makes a difference, every day, in the lives of women, children and youth around the world. It is an opportunity for each of us to share in an "attitude of gratitude", by making gifts out of gratitude for God's abundance, and in celebration of the joys of life.
Here are some ideas that you can use to share the World Thank Offering in your local unit:
1. Encourage your members to use a World Thank Offering container throughout the year, and to put it in a place that they will see it often. Make spontaneous gifts of gratitude during the year as you experience God's abundance in your life. You can use the World Thank Offering box, or...make your own World Thank Offering containers using World Thank Offering labels, or even some pictures that you cut out from Response Magazine. The World Thank Offering graphic is available on our website...just click here.
2. Share a World Thank Offering calendar with your local unit members. Each day, the calendar can have a suggestion about a way to think about God's blessings in your life. A sample calendar is available on our website...just click here for a WORD file, or click here for a PDF file. You could use it or adapt it for use in your local unit. Be creative!
3. Use the World Thank Offering program in the United Methodist Women Program Book. This year the program is titled "Sustainers of Life".
Participating in the World Thank Offering is a tradition in United Methodist Women that is over 100 years old...making spontaneous gifts out of gratitude for our many blessings. Participate this year, count your blessings, and give generously.
