UMCOR, United Methodist Committee on Relief is offering early response training for anyone sensing a call to help with this wonderful outreach arm of our denomination. UMCOR has a great reputation in providing resources and support in places that have experienced significant hardship.
Whenever we read in the news about a place that is going through a disaster of some sort, it's an incredible feeling to know that our denomination is most likely already on the way to provide help.
A percentage of local church apportionments (money sent to the West Ohio Conference) pays for the administrative costs of UMCOR which makes it possible for 100% of designated gifts given toward UMCOR to go directly toward disaster relief.
Here's the early response training information:
To register for one of these events, contact Jim Rodgers, West Ohio Conference Disaster Response Coordinator at 740-989-2086 or e-mail at jimbarb23@windstream.net
(Both classes start at 9 A.M.)
