From the Pews
Check out the new face of our church.....look up!
 If you don't enter the church through the front door, you may not have noticed the improvements. No more peeling paint or a steeple in severe need of repair. We finally have a new and improved steeple to beautify our church. The steeple has been refurbished and new cedar-look siding and trim installed. We hope the steeple and trim are now maintenance free for many years. Thanks to Ken May for his persistence and on-site supervision of the project. |

Chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain provide obstacles to a fuller life for the residents of this area. Red Bird Mission and Clinic strives to meet these needs through ministry in five areas: Education, Health and Wellness, Community Outreach, Economic Opportunity, and Community Housing Improvement. Support for these ministries come from churches and individuals across the nation, including The United Methodist Church. The Mission reports there has been a decline in the support received, and they are currently facing a financial crisis that is making it difficult to continue all the areas of ministries provided. |

WNY Perinatal Bereavement Network
One of our missions this year is support of the WNY Perinatal Bereavement Network. The mission of this group is to assist the community in meeting the needs of people facing perinatal death.... the death of a baby from miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant death. The group assists with the grief process following the death of a baby. Peer-to-peer support groups are available to assist after perinatal loss, subsequent pregnancy support, and grandparent support. During the months of May and June, our communion offerings will be donated to the WNY Perinatal Bereavement Network. Check their website at wnypbn.org for further information and volunteer opportunities.  |
