At 275 feet tall, the General Sherman tree is the largest tree in the world. This tree is roughly 2,200 years old, over 36 feet in diameter, and is estimated to weigh nearly 2 million pounds. You would think with such an impressive height, its roots would go very deep. However, that is not the case.

We invite all to join together for our church-wide Lenten study. Our book study will be “John: The Gospel of Light and Life” by Adam Hamilton, starting the week of February 21st. The Gospel of John is the most spiritual of the four gospels. It is filled with rich images and profound truths, but John notes that his aim in writing the gospel is that readers will not only believe in Jesus Christ, but that they “may have life in his name.” It is a great book for a Lenten Study!
SUMC delivered 60 grab and go meals to the COVID and ICU units’ nurses at Heritage Valley Sewickley Hospital on January 15th, 19th, and 21st. Those 180 meals would not have been possible without funding from Miracle Sunday and community partners.
