Fall Rummage Sale
by the UM Women

picnic

The 2017 fall rummage sale will take place Oct 13-14. Donna Parkinson will make delicious apple dumplings. Don Burkhard will make soup. We will need other baked goods too.
Most importantly, though, we will need items to sell. As you make the transition to fall, please set aside items to donate. We need helpers to organize the items and help the days of the sale. And of course, please come shop for treasures, soup, and baked goods. Donations can be dropped off starting Sept. 18, in the coat room across from the kitchen. Thank you!

We are collecting materials to support those affected by flooding and hurricane damage.

See our missions page for details on materials being collected. Monetary donations are also accepted. These fund either costs to purchase additional materials or to pay for shipping of donations to the affected areas.

As always, don't forget to pray for those helping those in need, as well as those who are being helped.

College Spagetti Dinners

Congratulations to all graduating students of Spring 2017. We are grateful to have shared in this meal with all the students over the past semester.

Check back for updates on Fall 2017 dates for the free spagetti dinners at First UM Church in Downtown Erie's Fellowship Hall.

Thank you to all who help make each of these outreach events to college students successful. Dinners have given students a chance to socialize, meet our members and Pastor, and learn about our church's ministries.
