Church Opportunities

WOW – Women of Works

WOW, Women of Works, make small bears and children’s blankets/quilts, which are sent with teams who travel to mission locations nationally and internationally.   These bears and blankets   are sent to meet a comfort need of a child and are a physical reminder of Jesus’ love.  Anyone (women and men, youth, children) can be involved.  We are always looking for those who like arts and crafts, like to work with theirs hands, and be creative.  There is always a need for cutters, stuffers, tufters, and sewers.  WOW meets every Wednesday morning from 9:30-11:30AM in the basement of the BEM church.  Contact Peggy Willeumier  (814-849-5513) with any questions or just come with your scissors on a Wednesday morning.

Samaritan's Purse – Operation Christmas Child

Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.  The BEM church collects gifts year round to pack in the shoeboxes. In November we have a “Packing Party” and then transport the shoeboxes to a central drop-off location. In the hands of local churches, every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship—transforming the lives of children and their families around the world through the Good News of Jesus Christ!  Contact Vicki Stahlman 814-590-3114 for more information and to volunteer.
