Extend the spirit of giving thanks into the Advent season by participating in UMC #GivingTuesday on Dec. 2. A video clip about Giving Tuesday is available at http://vimeo.com/112518375. Every gift made online through The Advance at www.umcmission.org/give on Dec. 2 will be matched up to $1 million. The General Board of Global Ministries will allocate the matching funds—dollar for dollar—up to the first $1 million in gifts to Advance projects received online on Dec. 2 between 12 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. EST
. UMC #GivingTuesday is part of an international movement which offers an opportunity to start off the holiday season by giving instead of receiving and by supporting organizations that are transforming the world. See more at GivingTuesday.
