Adults and children participate in vocal choirs, handbell choirs,  brass and instrumental ensembles, and thanks to the foresight of visionary disciples, we are enriched by the sounds of one of the finest pipe organs in this part of the country.   Learning about Christ is the inevitable result of life giving worship. Each member is a learner, each member a teacher. Our Sunday School coordinators and teachers are highly committed to passing on our faith in a way that honors and cherishes each person as the very image and likeness of God. We believe God calls us to quality before He calls us to quantify any of our ministries.  Our primary task is to be attentive to the quality of our relationships, and that means we are called to cultivate a good relationship with Jesus the Christ.  Please browse this site to learn more about the mission that continues to unfold as we listen to the Spirit!  Please contact me anytime at 814-452-3300 ext. 209, or e-mail me at akerr@fumcerie.org.   “LISTEN LIVE” TO OUR 1O:55 A.M.
