The McKeesport Ministerium will be be hosting its Annual Community Thanksgiving Service Sunday, November 20 at 6pm. The service will be hosted this year by the McKeesport Alliance Church located at 938 Summit Street in McKeesport. More than a dozen churches and ministries are participating in this years service. The service will include congregational singing, special music, a joint choir and a message presented by Captain Sean Barton of the McKeesport Salvation Army. The Ministerium recently decided to present a Community Servant Award annually to a person they believe has offered sacrificial service to our community. The ministerium is pleased to announce that this years recipient is Mr. Gerald “Puddin” Grayson, and that the award will be presented at the service. The community is invited to join us for this service and remain for a cookie fellowship following the service.

Participating churches and ministries can access promotional files here.

Join us each Sunday between September 25 and October 23.  For five weeks we will be examining the message of our founder, A.B. Simpson which has been known as “The Fourfold Gospel.”  This series will help each of us understand the foundational teaching of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, but it is much more than that!  At the heart of this message is a challenge for every believer to discover and experience a life that is all about Jesus.

Each of the Sunday School classes will be doing the same study for those five weeks at 9:30am.  There will be a total of five adult classes open for you to join, including two brand new options:

• Men’s Class: location- fellowship hall, 1st floor; teachers-Ken Close and David Mozeik
• Ladies Class: location-ladies classroom, off of sanctuary, 2nd floor; Terry Wiechmann, Val  Peddicord, Char Close
• Young At Heart: location-church library, 2nd floor; Harold Hale
• Young Adult: location-to be announced; Pastor Doug and VLD Kagey
• Quest: location-to be announced; Mark Lewis and Marty Smith

The worship service each week will be guided by the CMA DNA theme for that week.  Plan to be with us each week for the series.
