JUNE MISSION Our church family will again participate in Life Choices, a non-profit pregnancy resource center in Kittanning. Empowering choices for life, sexual integrity & healthy families is their mission. We will focus our financial support in the BABY BOTTLE BLESSINGS or CHANGE FOR LIFE campaign. Each family unit may receive a baby bottle and place their money (checks, bills, or coins) inside. If writing a check, please make it payable to FUMC (First United Methodist Church). We will tally those checks and write one from our church payable to LIFE CHOICES. Please pray for the people in these difficult situations. Pray as to how you can help to make a difference for LIFE.
