We’re looking for donations of boxed macaroni & cheese, , vegetable oil, and butter or margarine. Please bring donations by Sunday, July 6.
Sponsor A Sunday Morning Coffee Hour
Each week between services, our Coffee Hour offers more than just treats - it’s also a space for spending time together. We're inviting PCUMC families and ministry teams to help keep this tradition going by sponsoring a Sunday. Pick one Sunday (or more!) to make coffee and provide a few treats. Sign up sheets are available in the back of the sanctuary. Thank you for helping us create a warm, welcoming space each week!
Coffee Hour Team Help Needed
Do you have a gift for hospitality? Does seeing people happy make you happy? The 10:00 hour on Sunday is an important time of fellowship for our church. We are looking for some people to help coordinate this time. These folks will work to ensure that we have a schedule of people willing to provide refreshments and make sure there are enough supplies for everyone.
Leave a note on your Friendshipo Card if you're interested or would like more info.
Help Provide Dinner for Lockport Cares
Lockport Cares is looking for volunteers to provide prepared dinners for their meal ministry, which operates seven days a week. If you'd like to help, please visit lockportcares.org to sign up for a specific day or days. The number of guests varies daily, typically between 6 and 12 people, so be sure to check the day of or the day before to confirm how many meals are needed.

Thank you for supporting this important ministry!

Support the Pendleton Food Pantry
Donations Always Welcome!
The need in our community never takes a break—and neither does the Pendleton Food Pantry. We are always accepting donations to help support local individuals and families facing food insecurity.
You can place your non-perishable food items in the collection bin located in the Fellowship Hall food collection area. Every item donated helps restock the shelves and feeds a neighbor in need.
Not sure what to bring? Canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, and peanut butter are always appreciated.
Thank you for giving!
Thursday Night Dinners in the Summer!
Thursdays, 5:00 PM, First UMC, 8210 Buffalo Ave., Niagara Falls
Isn’t it wonderful that the warmer weather has finally arrived! We always need the usual supplies: yellow and chocolate cake mixes, brownie mixes, elbow pasta, mayonnaise, eggs, boneless chicken (breast or thighs), and ground beef. If it’s easier, please consider making a financial donation to help us out! We buy in bulk and use a tax exemption to stretch those funds far!
We are also calling on all you gardeners out there to consider the Thursday Night Dinner if you have any fruits or vegetables that we could use in our meals. If you find yourself with too many zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, or anything else that you think we could use, let’s make sure nothing goes to waste! We love to incorporate fresh items whenever we can for everyone’s benefit!
