United Methodist Student Day - November 28, 2010 (can be celebrated at anytime)
“Leading up to and throughout
The people in Melissa Wheatley’s home church, Collierville United Methodist, are no strangers to giving – especially when it comes to putting a little extra in the offering plate on United Methodist Student Day. The Tennessee congregation knows their gift will reap what it sows because of the support for Melissa, a recent graduate and longtime church member. Now that she’s finished school, she plans a career in which she can use her dual degree in audio engineering and religion and the arts. “Technology, combined with tradition, enhances the worship experience,” Melissa said. “I hope to work in a church where the skills I learned in college can bring people closer to each other and to God.” Melissa has been blessed by her home church, and by the generosity of the entire United Methodist denomination. Every year, hundreds of students like her receive scholarships and loans funded by United Methodist Student Day. In today’s economy, your contributions are needed more than ever. Without your gifts, many students may be turned away. To read additional stories of lives changed by United Methodist Student Day and to donate online, click here.
