Golden Cross Sunday Celebrated on May 13
Golden Cross Sunday is officially celebrated on Mother’s Day, May 13, with a conference approved special offering for benevolent care at McKendree Village.
Resources to celebrate Golden Cross Sunday will be mailed to your church on April 18.
Founded in 1963 by the Tennessee Annual Conference, McKendree Village is a Tennessee Conference affiliated continuing care retirement community in Hermitage, Tennessee. The Golden Cross Fund assists residents who have outlived their financial resources. Last year, more than 25% of the 650 residents at McKendree Village benefited from the Golden Cross Fund in the amount of approximately $2 million.
The commitment of those founding pastors and laity was no one would be asked to leave, once they became a resident, because of insufficient funds. The generous support of Tennessee Conference United Methodists has enabled McKendree Village to keep that commitment.
Golden Cross Sunday is not restricted to May 13th. You may take the offering on another Sunday or use a communion offering to support Golden Cross.
Speakers are available to come to your church to explain Golden Cross and the crucial support you provide. For speakers or other information, please email information@mckendreefoundation.org or call 615-871-8236.
Thanks,
Kent McNish
