WHAT ’ S NEWS IN SEWICKLEY
SEWICKLEY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CELEBRATES THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
What opportunity does the promise of “ good news of great joy for all people ” present in 2017 ?
The Sewickley United Methodist Church believes the opportunity — revealed in Luke 2 — is as elastic and electric as it was in the first Christmas season . Some need to unwrap it again , while others need to wrap it and share it as a gift , and a few need to bake it into the holiday .
SUMC , located at Thorn and Broad streets , embraces all , offering a contemporary service at 9 a . m . and traditional service at 11 a . m . Sundays during the Advent season .
On Christmas Eve , a blended morning service at 10 a . m . will be offered with a candlelight contemporary service at 5 p . m ., and a traditional service at 7:30 p . m .
The SUMC children will present a Christmas pageant at both services on Dec . 10 . The Fellowship of the Cross youth group will lead a Christmas caroling adventure visiting homebound residents on Dec . 17 . The traditional cookie walk will open at 9 a . m . on Dec . 16 , and please don ’ t delay . The homebaked cookies sell out quickly !
