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 EUM church. Contact Peggy Willeumier (814-849-5513) with any questions or just come with your scissors on a Wednesday morning.

We run a full spectrum of audio equipment including wireless microphones, recording services and helping with production of the Children’s Christmas and Easter programs.

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 EUM 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.
Praise & Worship Music Ministry
Do you play an instrument, sing, or just like to tap your fingers to a beat? Consider joining the Praise & Worship Team. We lead the congregation in worship using contemporary music during the 8:15 AM worship service two Sundays a month. The Praise & Worship Team practices every other Thursday from 6:00-8:00 PM. For more information, or if you have a favorite worship song that you would love to be used during a worship service, please phone Wendy McPherson 814-951-2121.
Mission Service - Local & Abroad
Members of our community are involved in a variety of mission opportunities, which is a great way to get to know people and make a difference.

Adults and youth have volunteered with camp and retreat ministries, habitat for humanity, and much more. For more information please contact the church office at (814) 848-2612 or
