Thank you so much for your incredible support for our 2026 Candygram campaign. We exceeded our goal and will be able to provide tuition and school supplies for another year for Ruvimbo, the student we are supporting in Zimbabwe through the Nyadire program.
Candygrams are a sweet way to express appreciation and gratitude for people in our church family, and the money raised goes toward tuition and school supplies for the seventh grade student we support in Zimbabwe.
The final numbers are in: the Sewickley United Methodist Church family delivered 147 boxes to Operation Christmas Child (a new SUMC record!), raised more than $700 for Ornaments 4 Orphans families, and filled 15 care packages for college students in our family.
It’s “care package” time for our SUMC college students, and we want your leftover Halloween candy! The Fellowship of the Cross, through the support of the SUMC family, sends care packages to college students in early December as they study for final exams.
The Fellowship of the Cross youth will once again be selling handmade Christmas decorations, including ornaments, nativity sets, jewelry, and stocking stuffers from Ornaments 4 Orphans. Stop by and visit us before, between, and after our Sunday worship services beginning November 9.
FOTC youth received a letter from Ruvimbo Dirima, the student we sponsor in Zimbabwe.
