Lenten Offerings 2026

Our Lenten Offerings this year will benefit two organizations, Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) and United Methodist Church Apportionments.

‍

‍OAR is a community-based nonprofit organization that envisions a safe and thriving community where those impacted by the legal system enjoy equal civil and human rights. Through our Upstream work, we are confronting and dismantling individual racism and racism in the legal system and across all systems. Our Downstream work allows us to be on the journey with individuals returning from incarceration and their families. We also offer alternative sentencing options (including community service) and diversion programs so people can avoid the trauma of incarceration and instead help the community thrive.

‍

UMC Apportionment Ministries support Christian missions worldwide, education of ministry students, Historic Black Colleges, Africa University, interdenominational cooperation, and more.

Thank you for considering a donation to one of these organizations!
