Bucket of Hope

Each week we collect items at our Sunday service to give to local groups serving people in our area who could use a little help. 

Our Bucket of Hope for July through September is The Caring Place

The Caring Place’s Mission is to provide for the basic human needs of all people in our community in a welcoming, respectful, and caring way.  All monetary and food donations directly benefit neighbors needing food, utility, rent, transportation, or medical assistance.  The Caring Place is a community-based and community-supported organization.

We now have an ongoing collection for the Ronald McDonald House. 
 
You can help support the Ronald McDonald House by collecting the little tabs you pull to open soda, soup or other aluminum cans. The funds generated from recycling these aluminum gems help offset the House’s expenses such as their electric bill. There is a jar on the Bucket of Hope table in the back of the Sanctuary to deposit your tabs.

Tithing Update

Unity Church of Georgetown is a tithing church. We believe in the principle of tithing and have asked our Benevolence Committee to make recommendations as to which organizations we should take into consideration when allocating our church’s monthly tithes.

The Benevolence Committee recommended to the Board to tithe to the following organizations: Unity Worldwide Ministries, Silent Unity, Food for Friends, HOPE Alliance, and The Caring Place. We will make year-end contributions to Reindeer Run and Operation Warm.
