During the season of Advent, we will be collecting items for the residents of Embassy of Park Avenue.  Many of the residents no longer have family nearby and your kindness can bring them joy, comfort, and the true spirit of the season. We are collecting donations and small gifts to fill stockings, decorate rooms, and make the holidays merry and bright!

Suggested items include: warm socks, slippers or blankets, lotions, body wash or lip balm, word search or puzzle books, small gifts, ornaments or Christmas decorations.  Monetary donations or gift cards will also be accepted and will be used to ensure every resident receives a thoughtful gift this season!

In honor of Stone's 200th anniversary this year, the Bicentennial Committee prepared individual prints and prints on slate featuring original artwork by local Meadville artist Cruz Dragosavac.  There are still prints for framing and prints on slates available!

They make great birthday, anniversary and Christmas gifts! Local artist Cruz Dragosavac created this orginal art in honor of Stone's bicentennial celebration this year.  Get your local artwork and support your church at the same time! Please see a committee member - Anne Finney, Jan Edmonds, Sue DeArment or Jane Smith or Jen Royer in the office to make your selection.

Prints on slate from Stone UMC and local buildings are available with a variety of mat options in small 11"x7" ($25), medium 11"x12" ($35) and large 11"x18-22" ($45). Individual prints are available in three sizes: 5"x7" ($15), 8"x10" ($25) and 11"x14" ($35).  Shipping is available for an additional shipping fee - please call the office for more information.
