Look for the grocery cart on August 26th, and help local families with food insecurities meet their needs. School will be starting soon—let's make sure local children have proper nutrition, which will help with learning. August's suggested non-perishable items are: cereal, oatmeal, cereal bars, juice, and healthy snack options.

Now through early September, Sewickley UMC will be collecting donations of unopened packages of diapers and baby wipes. Jewish Children and Family Services (JCFS) assists refugee families as they arrive in the USA and as they transition to their new lives here.

This special offering will be received for the purpose of strengthening nurture, witness, and outreach in town and rural areas. If you wish to support Rural Life initiatives, mark your gift “Rural Life,” and include it with your regular offering. You may also use EasyTithe, selecting Rural Life from the drop down box.

Please come join us on Saturday, August 25th, starting at 6:30pm in the Simpson Room for the screening of the documentary, “For the Bible Tells Me So,” which explores the intersection between religion and homosexuality in the U.S.

The Fellowship of the Cross is hosting a free car wash from 10 am until 2 pm this Saturday, August 4, in the SUMC parking lot. Financial donations will be accepted, and everything contributed will be applied to our 2018 Operation Christmas Child project.

We are still in need of about 10 more Christmas trees to use as “forest” decorations for VBS next week. If you would be willing to lend us one (or more) for next week, you can drop it off at church this week and leave it in the youth room downstairs, marked with your name. You could also drop it off on Saturday, between 10 am and 2 pm, when FOTC hosts their car wash, or bring it to church on Sunday. We will need them by Sunday, at the latest, because we will begin decorating right after church. They can be picked up the following Sunday, 8/12.
