Alternative Santa Visit at McConnellstown UM Church
Two opportunities, both on Saturdays: Dec. 3rd and 10th, 2:00 to 5:10 PM
If you have a family member (child or adult) for whom the traditional visit to Santa has not been possible due to physical limitations, sensory issues, or disabilities, we (the churches of McConnellstown UMC, Mill Creek UMC, and Twelfth Street UMC) have come together to create a Santa event just for you. Your family member can meet Santa without a wait in line, without other distractions in a room set up for private visits. Each time slot is 15 minutes to give time for the child to become comfortable (in other words, no rush with a long line of people watching). Each child will receive a gift and you can complete your visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus with a cookie and punch.
For additional information as to how to sign up, please reach out to Abbie Kane (814) 599-6272 or Pastor Pat Shope (814) 599-1464.

Martin Oil Company, Donation church's supplier of heating oil, is offering a payback program. The church will receive 2 cents per gallon on every gallon that a church member buys from Martin Oil Company throughout the year. A check will be given to the church every 3 months for all gallons purchased by church members. (For example, if Member Y purchases 250 gallons in 3 months, the church will receive $5.00.)
