Year Two

9AM -12 PM
Join us for year two of the Wild Wonder Vacation Bible School the week of July 13-17 @ 9AM - 12PM. Ages 4 y/o - 6th graders welcome!
Wild Wonder is a Vacation Bible School (VBS) style curriculum that invites children to delight in God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all things by immersing them in the wonders of the created world. Year Two is all about exploring hopeful ways to care for creation while also discovering how deeply God cares for us.
Forms are available here and in the Welcome Center at church. If you would like a copy sent to you, please contact our Secretary, Jen Weckley at secretary@mcknightumc.org.
Global Links
Global Links no longer accepts boxes - they have transitioned to boxes of all the same size and shape to make packaging easier and more efficient. The group that usually helps from McKnight have decided NOT to volunteer for Global Links until further notice. Thank you to all who have donated in the past for all of your support in this great ministry!
If you are interested in volunteering in the future with McKnight, please contact Bob Brown at phi42@aol.com or 412-369-5117 or check out their website at https://globallinks.org/
Daily Bread
Donations can be placed in the bins located in the Welcome Center at McKnight UMC.
At this time, MUMC is currently sending monthly donations of $75 in lieu of our in-person meal since we are not volunteering in person at the Daily Bread. If you would like to make a monetary donation for this ministry, please be sure to indicate "Daily Bread" on memo line of check or write a note with whatever means you prefer to pay with.
