GAT-UMC Supports Hurricane Relief
On behalf of our faith community, Grand Avenue Temple – UMC has committed a $500 contribution to the UMCOR Hurricane Relief Fund. If you would like to assist with the funding of this contribution, you may do so during Sunday morning offerings or through our online donation page.
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, UMCOR works with disaster coordinators and response teams to provide relief to the many victims who were in these storms’ paths.
Can we pray for you?
At Grand Avenue Temple, we have witnessed first-hand the power of prayer. We’ve seen lives changed, opportunities open up, and material needs met—all due to the unlimited goodness of God and the access that is ours through Jesus Christ.
