Special Easter Offering

Angela Ivey • April 6, 2023

Sunday, April 16 is the last day to contribute to the special offering on behalf of high school seniors who owe fees. So far we have raised a little over $1000 of the $5,900 balance. Here’s the story:

There are students who accrue charges (i.e. lunch dues) over the course of their academic lives (elementary through high school), which if unpaid by the end of the year as senior high school students, they are unable to receive their diplomas.

These students have worked hard academically, are expected to graduate, and yet are unable to do so often due to circumstances beyond their control or ability. In communication with both Amy McNeilly and Luara Indorf, counselors at West Hall High School, they have said that there is a current balance of $5,900. They said that any amount that we are able to give can be used to offset these charges. Whatever we are able to give would be applied to the students with the greatest need and who are on track to graduate this May.

We ask that you prayerfully consider giving to this need as a beautiful, tangible way to celebrate the “freedom” that God gives us in the spirit of Easter.

You can give online at https://onrealm.org/mceverumc/give/Easter or write a check with the memo “Easter Special Offering.”
