Boiler Replacement Fund

Dear Friend, 

After 64 years of patchwork here and there, my time of service is almost over, and I don’t think I can make it through another winter.  

For $82,000, I will be able to hire Mac, a Weil-McLain LGB20 top-of-the-line unit. He will operate 30% more efficiently, saving on fuel costs. I will run a Boiler Fund Project from Monday, July 20 through Thursday, December 31 to pay for him.  With your help, I can retire in peace! 

You know our 200-year-old church is a community church that includes the home of the Meadville Community Soup Kitchen, which serves more than 300 people per week, Monday through Friday; the Stone Children’s Center, offering quality care Monday through Friday for 45 children, ages 6 weeks through kindergarten; a monthly food box distribution for seniors; a meeting spot for Girl Scout troops as well as various community organizations like the Erie United Methodist Alliance to end homelessness and support groups. 

I know we can reach our goal together – this congregation has already raised $44,070 of the needed funds!  Please mail your check to the church or use our online giving at stoneumc.org/give.   

If you have any questions, please contact my assistant Jennifer Royer in the Stone Church office at 814-724-6736. 

Thank you so much for your response. 

Sincerely, 

BUDDY THE BOILER
