It has been a year, like no other in recent memory. 

Food insecurity for newly unemployed families, displaced families without secure housing, seniors, single adults, and children has risen throughout the COVID-19 crisis. 

Disruption in services of the National School Lunch Program, food assistance networks, and food supply chains has been, and continues to be, extraordinarily challenging. These disruptions are duplicated and magnified in particular areas of our country, and throughout the world. 

Our response as United Methodists in the Rio Texas Conference is essential now more than ever. 

Save the date, and please give on November 1st to the Harvest Sunday Special Offering. 
 
If you would be interested in promoting Harvest Sunday in your District and can share stories, pictures, and videos of your local ministries and how you have risen to the challenges this year, please reach out to bumccommunitypartner@gmail.com, call or text 512 917-9072.

Grace and Peace to you and your family,
