Giving Opportunities

Are you called to give to the work of God in and through Lebanon United Methodist Church? There are many opportunities to give and give back!

Please clearly indicate the specific offering on your payment (undesignated gifts will contribute to the general fund and the overall minsitry of LUMC). 

 

Monthly Donations 

Each month, Lebanon UMC takes two special collections. The Community Assistance Fund on the first Sunday of the month (unless that Sunday is designated for another special offering), and the money in this fund helps us offer gas vouchers, food vouchers, Please visit Listen Center 60 Hanover St Lebanon NH where are vouchers are handed out. 

The LISTEN food offering, taken the third Sunday of the month, is a collection of non-perishable food items. These items are counted and delivered to the LISTEN Food Pantry to help our community. 

Disaster Relief -  (through our Pass it On Fund) 

In times of crisis, we take special collections for Disaster Relief.  When giving through Lebanon UMC or any United Methodist Church, you can be sure that 100% of your contribution goes directly to the stated disaster. Checks can be written to Lebanon UMC, with the specific relief effort listed clearly on the memo line and we will take care of the rest. 

The United Methodist Church observes six Special Sundays a year, when we take a collection for a specific ministry within the denomination. You can learn more about UMC Special Sundays through the denomination's website. In addition, on the first Sunday of March each year, Lebanon UMC remembers the fire that destroyed our building and the loving community near and far that helped rebuild. That Sunday, we take an offering for our Pass it On Fund. This money is given in small gifts, along with a note of prayer and support, to other churches we hear about who lose their building to fire.
