This Christmas..... Give the Gift of Water

World Changing .... One Dime at a Time!

 
Above and Beyond

We would like to give thanks for the success of the Holy Covenant Living Water campaign.  Our initial goal was to raise $5,000 - enough to drill one well to help an entire village. 

Imagine our surprise when our total was over $14,000, close to three times that amount!

In a time when we might not have had as much to spend as in previous years, our friends and neighbors gave with generous hearts.
In addition to providing clean water for two villages for a lifetime, we helped create a sense of community with the rest of the world. 
 
Members of two communities know that people a world away cared enough to provide for a fundamental need - what an example of "loving thy neighbor." 
 
Thank you for your part in this amazing success and join us in being proud of what we can accomplish together.
-Missions Committee

 
Testimonal From Becky Walker

This year, Holy Covenant is once again participating in the Advent Conspiracy.  Advent Conspiracy is an invitation to Spend Less, and Give More, so that we can Love All and Worship Fully this Christmas season.  Christ came to bring peace, hope, and love to all God’s children.  The Advent Conspiracy challenges each of us to honor the true meaning of Christmas by redirecting some of our spending to make a life-saving, world-changing difference for “the least of these”.

Our goal as a congregation is to redirect funds that we might have used to purchase gifts and instead, raise $5,000 for Living Water International.

Christmas is Changing the World

Visit Advent Conspiracy

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.

And when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?

What if Christmas became a world-changing event again?

Living Water International Update…


Last Christmas season, HCUMC participated in the Advent Conspiracy, in which we made an effort to refocus our Christmas giving, in order to give resources to those who need help the most - namely, communities in developing nations that lack an adequate source of clean water.

HCUMC’s efforts this past Christmas paid off! We were able to raised $2823 to donate to Living Water International (LWI), a faith-based organization which has been working toward ending the global water crisis for 17 years, by training, equipping, and consulting national teams around the world in order to provide sustainable water systems that meet the long-term needs of the local people.

Matching Gifts

What is a matching gift?
It's a benefit that many companies provide, where they match all or part of their employees' charitable donations. This means your company will make a donation to the cause as a direct result of your donation.

How do you know if your company has a matching gift program?
Contact your Human Resources department to see if your company has a program and what it involves. If you're not sure, check the box and you can follow-up with your Human Resources department after your donation has been submitted.

What should you do after you've told us your donation is being matched?
Once we email you to say your donation has been processed successfully, ask your Human Resources department for their matching gift form. The information in your email receipt should help you fill it out, and you can also contact the nonprofit for more information.

What does Firstgiving do with your matching gift information?

· We pass it on to the nonprofit so that they can look out for your company's matching donation.

· We include information about the nonprofit in your email receipt, which you can use when you fill out your company's matching gift form.
