If you think your time for Christmas shopping may be two sizes too small, we may have a way for you to get to the mall.
Putting our offerings of cash or checks in the plate during worship service is a long standing tradition that is still welcomed. However, we recognize that this method does not work well for everyone. Sewickley UMC is now set up to use EasyTithe. This service allows our members, friends, and visitors to give to the church and other ministries using a computer or smart phone.
A poem by Donna
Twas the month before Christmas
And homemade goodies were the talk.
Everyone was planning what they would bake
For the annual Cookie Walk.
Bring on the bars, the drops, the pizzelles,
The chips, the sprinkles, the snowmen in white.
Bring on the buckeyes, the M&M’s, the ladylocks,
All yummy to the very last bite.
Please donate your favorites
Any number will do.
We’ll sell out this year
Thanks to you!
