For this year’s Bishop’s Christmas Offering, the Conference offered a coloring contest in which adults and little ones alike could showcase their work. Coloring pages were included the kits sent out last fall to help churches promote the offering during services and throughout communities. So far, the offering has raised over $126,000. Churches can continue to give throughout the year. See if your ministry is eligible for a BCO grant at inumc.org/BCOGrant.
