As the VBS team begins preparing for a “Roaring River Rampage” in August, we are concerned that we might get caught up a creek without a paddle. Please excuse the idiom. It seemed unavoidable.

After discussing possible actions to respond to concerns over current USA immigration and refugee practices, Pastor Russel and the Outreach Committee decided on a first step. You are urged to prayerfully consider sending an email to your federal legislators.  

The needs are great in Sharpsburg, Millvale, Bridgeville and Bethel Park. So many cleaning buckets have been sent out to these areas from the WPA United Methodist Church's Eastbrook Mission Barn that its supply is depleted. Sewickley UMC will accept financial donations to help replenish the supply.

FOTC launched its 2018 shoe box campaign in May and has selected “wow” gifts—toys, stuffed animals, balls, jewelry—as our target contribution for July. In August, we will target school supplies.

The United Methodist Church has long-standing statements and policies on the subject. The UMC Book of Discipline and Book of Resolutions contain sections on immigration and refugees.

We want the LGBTQ+ community to know that they are beloved children of God and a cherished part of our church family. Please join us as we celebrate Pride Month with a special Diversity Service Sunday evening, June 24th, at 6:00.
