Pledges Needed for 2023
If you have not returned your pledge for 2023 yet, there is still time to do so. Right now, we are looking at a deficit of approximately $20,000 based on having the same income as this year and approximately the same expenses. We need to have an increase of approximately 13% above the projected income for 2022 if we are going to meet our budget for 2023 and continue with our current worship and operations. This would equate to 20 families increasing their giving by an average of $20.00 per week in 2023. It may seem like a lot to ask with the current rate of inflation, but it is absolutely essential to maintain and grow our church.
Pledge cards can be found at the back of the church or downloaded below. Thank you for your faithful offerings. Download your Pledge Card » |

"Service Sunday" - New Opportunities for Service!
In keeping with GUMC's motto, "Love, Pray, Serve", we will begin a new program in November that will provide regular opportunities for service to others throughout the year. "Service Sunday" will take place on the 3rd Sunday of the month during most months of the year and will replace the previous "Fifth Sunday" idea. Service activities will take place after the service and will vary from month to month. On the third Sunday of December (December 18th) we hope to deliver Christmas baskets to several families in need in the Glyndon/Reisterstown area. If you know of a family who is in need in our community, please let Pastor Dong Eun know. Join us for a variety of "Service Sunday" activities on 3rd Sundays throughout the coming year!

Monthly Mission Opportunities
Casserole Sunday: Our church has committed to provide casseroles once a month for Our Daily Bread, an organization located in Baltimore City that provides meals every day of the year for those in need to help prevent hunger. If you would like to help out, bring your frozen or fresh casseroles to our church kitchen (place in freezer) the last Sunday of each month, or any Sunday you would like to help. We will see they are delivered along with food from other churches in our community.
