Celebration of Generosity

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19‐20

Generosi sity ty – “ – “New Ey Eyes”

People generally use financial statements to measure and improve performance in order to reach financial targets and achieve monetary rewards. At MUMC, God through Jesus Christ is at work and our most important activities are spiritual and transformational. Please put on your “new eyes” as we look at these numbers as gifts to God through MUMC and the reinvestment of those gifts in ministries to transform the world, one life at a time!

People At

Work

In 2014, Households responded to God’s blessings by increasing their gifts to Him through MUMC by approximately 6% over 2013 and our 2014 Budget! Thanks be to God!
