The United Methodist Student Day Offering supports students so that they can attend school and prepare to make a difference in the world.
Think about the young people in your congregation. Maybe some are venturing away from home for the first time as college freshmen. Perhaps others are pursuing graduate studies. Put names and faces to those students as you prepare for United Methodist Student Day on November 25.
By promoting generosity on this special Sunday of The United Methodist Church, you nurture tomorrow’s Christian leaders.
Right now there are UMC young people—who might not have had the resources to attend a school of their choice, or, for some, any school at all—who’ve been sent by you into the world God loves because of your giving to United Methodist Student Day. When you give generously you are support these students as they prepare for a life that unites faith with knowledge.
The Student Day Offering nurtures Christian leaders like Ricky Blue.The son of two addicted parents, Ricky Blue had grown up without much hope for a future. But when Ricky’s church family—Louisiana’s Luling UMC—raised $4000 for Ricky to begin college, hope was born. Then, the Gift of Hope Scholarship, made possible only by your generous giving to United Methodist Student Day, allowed Ricky to continue. Today Ricky is a certified candidate for ministry in the Illinois-Great Rivers Annual Conference.
What no one person can do, we’re doing together.
When you support United Methodist Student Day, you make it possible for more students like Ricky to serve the world God loves. So although you can’t meet every need you’d like to, your giving allows members of Christ’s body, people like Ricky, to do it in Jesus’ name.
