Give the gift of hope! Give your loved ones beautiful Alternative Gift Christmas Cards that represent a donation to one of our mission partners: Habitat for Humanity, IFC, Medical Debt Relief, TABLE and Zoe Empowers. The Christmas Cards are available December 1 through January 5, 2025 when University UMC celebrates Epiphany.

As you continue with the donation process, you will be buying $10 shares for the organizations. For example,  to donate $50 to TABLE, select TABLE and put 5 in the quantity line. You may pay online at the time of donation with a credit card or you may pay with check that you turn in on Sunday or mail to the church office.

 As  you begin to donate, for the field “Which family members will be attending?” just check the box next to your name.  As you complete your donation, you will come to a screen to review. After checking your details, be sure to click on the blue “REGISTER” button to complete the donation process. A confirmation email will be sent after you complete your donation. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your donation is not complete.  Please email Betty Peterson  or call the church (919-929-7191) with any donation problems. A Realm account is not required to make a donation. 

You may pick up our beautiful Alternative Gift Christmas cards from the table in Narthex, the Parlor and the hallway before and after the service. When the church is open, you may get cards in the Parlor and at the information station.

Take as many cards as you need! Regardless of how you chose to donate, please make your donations in increments of $10 because it will make bookkeeping easier. There is no fee with checks or cash.
