SUMC Announcements

UMCOR, the relief agency of our denomination, is in desperate need of funds and cleaning kits. The many storms of the spring and summer have greatly depleted both funds and relief kits. Without our assistance, UMCOR’s ability to respond to disasters and other global needs will be hampered. UMCOR is frequently one of the first agencies to respond. SUMC is not planning to assemble cleaning kits, but UMCOR will use funds donated for cleaning kits to purchase those necessary supplies. Funds donated to “Summer Storms” will enable UMCOR to not only be a first responder, but will enable the agency to continue long-term recovery efforts in the many areas struggling to clean up and restore. It is only through the generosity of United Methodists that UMCOR continues to be our hands around the world. Please mark your donation “Summer Storms” and include it with your regular offering.

Special Offering goes to supporting the educational ministries of the Western PA Conference which include Training and Resources and Laity Scholarships. Please use the “blue” envelopes found in the pews or in the back of the church, or include with your regular offering (mark “Christian Edcuation").
