Join us this summer (now through Labor Day weekend, September 4th) for intergenerational worship at 10 a.m. in our air-conditioned sanctuary.  You'll participate in an hour-long service that is Biblically-based, rooted in the rich traditions of the Reformed branch of Christianity, and tailored to help us encounter God in the midst of our contemporary lives. 

     So far during August, we've had some wonderful guests.  On August 14th, William Kirker, director of development at St. Paul's - A Continuing Care Community, joined us.  Bill honored members of the St. Paul Homes Auxiliary in our congregation, and updated us on how we're making a difference in seniors' lives at both St. Paul's (in Greenville) and at The Ridgewood at Shenango Valley here in Hermitage (just down the hill from UPMC Farrell).

     Last Sunday, the Rev. Martin Hardy, retired pastor of St. Paul's UCC in Meadville, filled the pulpit.  His interesting sermon: "Battle Ship or Cruise Ship?"

     Jesus commanded us to love one another as He loves us.  In that spirit, our summer worship services will be followed by refreshments every Sunday.

     We'll celebrate Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) again on September 4th, and invite all followers of Jesus Christ, no matter what denomination or tradition, to join us.  In keeping with our emphasis on fellowship, we share the bread and grape juice with you in your seat, and then eat and drink together. 

     The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated as needed to welcome the children of God (of any age) into our midst.  If you are interested in being baptized, having your child baptized, or simply learning more, please speak with our pastor on Sunday morning.

     Weddings and marriage vow renewal ceremonies can be scheduled by phoning the church office at (724) 342-2310. 

     Pastor David Williamson and Musician Emeritus Ann Malsom lead a lively worship service for the residents of Whispering Oaks on South Buhl Farm Drive the first Saturday of each month at 4 p.m.  Pastor David or Pastor Julia Williamson goes to The Ridgewood of Shenango Valley, a United Church of Christ-related assisted living community just down the hill from UPMC Farrell, every Tuesday afternoon at 3:45 p.m.  And our pastor leads worship in a beautiful outdoor chapel at Custaloga Town Boy Scout camp in northeast Mercer County throughout the summer.
