A Matching Gift of $20,000 is being offered for the Clergy Immigrant Support Fund in honor of Helen Bates Brown 

The United Methodist Foundation of New England is excited to announce a matching gift of $20,000 for the Clergy Immigrant Support Fund (Fund) by Sharon and Barbara Sagat-Stover. 


The intent of the Helen Bates Brown gift is to match all donations from individuals and churches to the Fund during the seasons of Advent and Epiphany. Just like the Apostle Paul, the individuals who will benefit from this matching gift have been called by God to travel to a distant land to partner with other disciples to share the love and grace of Christ across New England.”

January Foundation Forum Educational Series


Wednesday, January 28th at 12:30 PM and Thursday, January 29th at 7 PM

GENEROSITY AS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE

A Transforming Journey with Your Faith Community

As Jesus and the disciples gathered in the upper room, Jesus said to them “Love one another.  In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.”  John 13: 34, 35


Lent is a great time to focus on the spiritual discipline of generosity from God, for ourselves and to others. It is how we “love one another.” During this Foundation Forum, we will discuss ideas for a Lenten sermon series, a group Bible study, and tools for personal reflection. 

There are two opportunities to join us!
