Safe People and Safe Places to Share Your Struggles
Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We all face challenges and trouble in our lives. Our pastoral staff, and our directors of Youth and Children are part of compassionate team that create safe spaces for people to talk about those challenges. Our Bible study groups and class groups often support each other in times of need. When you give your money to Parker UMC you’re providing classrooms, worship space, and highly trained staff to meet these needs.
A Strong Presence in the Community
Many groups that were started here at Parker UMC meet in public spaces like coffee shops. Their presence is a witness to the community of the fellowship and connection a faith based life can produce. Did you know that Parker Task Force, a local food bank, was started by a member of Parker UMC? When you give your money to Parker UMC you are providing staff to teach classes, empower and grow leaders, and send them into the community to be a presence for God.
Have You Considered a Legacy Gift?
You may be asking yourself, “what is a legacy gift?” A legacy gift is a planned future gift that designates some part of an individual’s estate as a donation to a nonprofit. Legacy gifts enable individuals to create a powerful philanthropic legacy by making a direct impact on the causes important to them. There are many types of legacy gifts. Your gift has the potential to impact people in BIG ways. The ministries above, as well as many other possibilities, would benefit greatly from your legacy gift. We’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
