The United Methodist Committee on Relief Cleaning Bucket program provides those in the aftermath of a disaster the tools to start the hard work of cleaning and starting over...Recent weather events and numerous flooding events have seriously depleted the stockpile at the Mission Barn and help is needed to replenish the bucket supply.

To help meet this need, we are challenging ourselves to fill TEN buckets with the needed supplies for a Cleaning Bucket Kit.  Visit our display in Thoburn Lobby to see what supplies are needed - each item has been listed on a card - take the card, purchase the item and return it along with your purchased items to the church to be included in our buckets.

 Rev. Sang Choi, who has faithfully and passionately served the Erie-Meadville and Kane Districts, has accepted a new appointment with the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference beginning August 1. We share our prayers, blessings, and thanksgiving with Rev. Choi and his family as he serves on loan from the WPA Conference to the EPA Conference.

Rev. Lisa Grant, a retired elder, will serve as the Conference Superintendent for the Erie Meadville District beginning September 1, 2025. Although Rev. Grant’s appointment begins September 1, she will be doing some transitional work in regard to the Erie-Meadville District during the month of August. From August 1 to September 1, Andrea Wolf – who will continue to serve as the Administrative Assistant for both the Kane and Erie-Meadville Districts – will be working with Rev. Chung to address any questions or needs that may arise in Erie-Meadville until Rev. Grant officially begins her appointment on September 1. As Rev. Grant begins her ministry, Andrea will continue to assist Rev. Grant, Rev. Chung, and both Districts.

Please join us for the Welcoming Committee meeting on August 3, 2025 after the Safe Sanctuary training!  Thank you in advance!
