The Work of Lightstreet United Methodist Church
Belonging to the Body of Christ
Lightstreet United Methodist Church believes every area of employment needs Christians. To that end, the Missions team offers scholarships to students who are furthering their education. We support students with encouragement, prayers, and some funding. If you are a high school senior ready to enter college or are already working toward a degree, please contact Missions co-chairs: Bill Kocher wck1@epix.net or Carla Travelpiece cjtravelpiece@verizon.net to obtain a scholarship application today.
Workday, Sun., May 3, 1:30-4:30 pm – Church work day. The workers will be treated to an evening meal. This is not a Together Time meal for the entire church body as was previously advertised.
