SUMC is an active church in our local community and in missions around the world. Here’s what’s going on.
It took us a few weeks to inventory all that our church family contributed during “Christmas in July,” and we value every donation immensely. The FOTC appreciates all the ways you are supporting our 16th Operation Christmas Child campaign. But if you are still looking to make a contribution, we have a wish list.
The Jr. Bells will start again on Sunday, September 20th. It will be separated into two groups: Chimes and Handbells. All are welcome.
Come join us for a fun evening of Salsa Dancing, hosted by the SUMC Spanish Class! On October 3rd from 6:00–8:00 pm in the Simpson Room, we’ll kick off the evening with 45 minutes of instruction from real salsa dancers, who will teach us some basic moves and get everyone dancing.
This year, during Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th to October 15th), you have the opportunity to travel and learn about 10 different countries right here in our church!
Today, the view of Palestine and its people looks very different. Support is growing across some mainstream news outlets, and social media can’t hide the images anymore. And there are individuals speaking out from positions of real power, like Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
You’re invited to join the Tuesday Women every Tuesday morning for fellowship and faith. Meetings are at 10:00 am in the church library starting on Tuesday, September 22nd.
We call them “something to love,” or “something to hug.” Stuffed animals. Dolls. Something to name, protect, and snuggle, small enough to fit in a shoe box, but big enough to hold a child’s dreams, strong enough to carry the love of Jesus from Sewickley UMC to distant corners of the world.
