Thank you for your consideration of this very important position.
Generations and Generational Seminar- On July 12th Rev. Greg Cox will be sharing a session on Understanding Generational Change. Greg has worked with the Empowered Leadership seminars with the United Methodist Foundation for five years. Greg is currently the Lead Pastor of the Ingomar Church in the Pittsburgh District. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex if you’re attending, please let us know if you are!
Early Dinner– Tonight the 10th we’re meeting at Olive Garden. Next Thursday the 17th, we’ll be going to Rodney’s, and later this month we’re going to R-Place. Let Karen know if you have any questions or would like to join!
VBS– This summer we’re climbing aboard for Jesus! From July 27th to August 1st we’ll be “train”ing the next generation and teaching them about Jesus. We have signups for volunteers in the Narthex and registration has started for students between preschool age and 5th grade, you can register your child(ren) by pressing this link.
VBS Volunteers- Sign up in the Narthex to volunteer for VBS this year. We have a meeting on Tuesday the 22nd at 6 to go over last minute details.

Co-ed Cornhole- Get ready to toss some bags on Monday the 21st! We’re looking to dethrone the former champions Terry Faust and Darlene Basic, the winner gets their picture put on the sign out front!
UMW No-Bake Bake Sale– Throughout the month of July the UMW will be hosting a bake sale where you don’t have to make anything! Each family will receive a soft cloth cookie with a money slot in it. A cookie monster will be in the narthex where you can place your “filled” cookie. No need to mess up your kitchen or even turn on the oven. Just total the cost of all the ingredients plus your time and that will give you the dollar amount with which to fill your cookie. (If you prefer to write a check, please make payable to UMW.) Thank you for your generosity!
Backpack Collection– During July we’re collecting school items for children. We’re collecting: Kid scissors (Round-tipped), Crayola Colored Pencils (12 Count), Dry Erase Markers, One Subject Spiral Notebooks, and new backpacks. The backpacks will be blessed in August and distributed to children in need. The box for items is located in the Narthex.
Praise Band– We’re looking to start a praise band featuring guitars, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocalists to lead worship once a month. If you’re interested reach out to Phil or Lynn and we can get you more information.
New Hope Ministries- UMW has started a new mission, and we need your help! We are supporting New Hope Ministries of McKeesport who serve approximately 90 families in need. New Hope Ministries has several programs they offer these families: one being a food pantry. Unfortunately, food pantries seldom get personal toiletries or paper products for clients. Our mission is to provide these items to New Hope Ministries. Personal toiletries for men and women include, for example, body soap, bar soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Paper products such as toilet paper, paper towels, and Kleenex are also needed. Please help us to reach out to these families. A donation box marked NEW HOPE MINISTRIES OF MCKEESPORT is in the Narthex. Thank you.
Worship Requests– If you have a song that you’d like heard on a Sunday, either a hymn or more of a contemporary song please let Jennifer, Phil, or Lynn know. We want to make Sunday as fulfilling as possible for you.
Worship Help– If you have any ability or interest in playing an instrument or singing on a Sunday reach out to Phil, Lynn, or Jennifer. We’d love to have you help us out and share your gifts with the congregation! We’re looking for guitarists, drummers, singers, bagpipers, accordion players, or whatever!
Fall Fest– Just 5 months away! Save the date for October 18th. We’re working on getting vendors, activities, and sponsors. Stay tuned for more details! If you know any vendors please invite them! Also if you’d like to sponsor an activity or event please contact Phil, Jess, or Pastor Adam.
The Outreach Committee has a collection container on the desk in the Narthex!! They are collecting all plastic caps from water bottles, soda bottles, etc. These caps will be delivered to a patient of Ray Gronlund’s that will recycle for a cause. Please remember to recycle the caps—not just for charity, but for the environment!! “Tabs with a Purpose” – the Outreach Committee is collecting “tabs” from the top of soup, canned goods, beverage cans, and cat food for the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh. Your TRASH gives them CASH! Please deposit them in the container in the Narthex.
