Annual Conference Offerings
Disaster Response Offering
Annual Conference is fast approaching, and we want to give you and your local church ample time to respond generously to our [link removed] 2023 Annual Conference offerings. We’ll be taking an offering for Missouri Conference Disaster Response during the Opening Worship service. Disaster Response is a vital ministry where we serve people in their most vulnerable times. The Conference continues to expand our capacity to respond to disasters in Missouri, our region and across the United States. Your donation will help purchase additional supplies for relief kits deployed in disaster. This will help us not only meet needs in Missouri but to areas beyond when disaster hits.

Mozambique Offering
Annual Conference is fast approaching, and we want to give you and your local church ample time to respond generously to our [link removed] 2023 Annual Conference offerings. We’ll be taking an offering for the Mozambique Initiative’s solar panel parsonage project during the Celebration of Ministry worship service. Sixty-five percent of United Methodist pastors in Mozambique do not have electricity in their home. Poor or no access to power makes many daily tasks much more difficult. Our partners in Mozambique have set an ambitious goal of fitting 50 parsonages across the country with solar panels.
