College Care Connections

We are piloting a new ministry designed to target college students and help them feel seen and loved by their church family. Twice a year, the College Care Connections team will put together care packages to send to our college students.

Here's how you can support this ministry: 
 We need members of our congregation to provide us with names and addresses of college students they know. These do NOT need to be only church members—they can be non-member grandkids, too! Please submit to college@christumc.org by October 18.

We are also asking congregation members for a one-time financial gift to help get this ministry off the ground. Expenses include purchasing fun items and snacks for the boxes, as well as shipping costs. Email Rachel@christumc.org for more information. 

The team will provide a list of suggested items for the care packages if individuals would prefer to shop on their own.
