Bring Hope Through the Easter Offering

This Easter season, Edenton Street United Methodist Church invites you to participate in our special Easter Offering. Your generous contributions will support crucial ministries that spread hope and love in our community and beyond. This year, we will focus on initiatives that promote social justice, outreach programs, and support for those in need. Join us in making a meaningful impact as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and the transformative power of giving. Together, we can share the message of love and grace in profound ways. Thank you for your willingness to support our mission during this holy time.
