Who helped open the door to your education? A grandparent who saved quietly. A scholarship from a church you’d never visited. A loan that made the next semester possible. On Sunday, August 16, McPherson First UMC joins United Methodists across the connection in opening that door for the next generation.
UM Student Day is one of six churchwide Special Sundays in the United Methodist Church. The offering received supports scholarships and the United Methodist Student Loan Fund, helping United Methodist students attend the college, university, or seminary of their choice.
Since the 1870s, the United Methodist Student Loan Fund has provided low-interest loans to thousands of students. Scholarships go to United Methodist students based on academic achievement, financial need, and active involvement in their local church. Your gift on August 16 keeps that legacy moving forward.
How to give: Give in worship at 8:30 AM or 10:15 AM, mail a check to the church office, or give online directly to UM Student Day.
Every gift matters. All are welcome to participate in this churchwide offering and join in supporting students preparing to lead, teach, serve, and change the world.
