CRANBERRY TWP. — June
29, 2004— Simply Christian®, a ministry of Dutilh
UMC, recently donated a church web site and its Online
Sunday School™ to Fellowship United Methoidst Church's
Center For Hope in Ambridge PA. The Center For Hope
provides a broad range of services for Ambridge and the surrounding
areas.
"Simply Christian's Online
Sunday School has the ability to SPREAD the gospel
throughout our area because we have access to so many children." says
Emma Smith, Associate Pastor
and Associate Director of the Center For Hope.
The Center's FaithTech
group and the church's own computer training facilities now
make their
Online
Sunday School (OSS)
available to their children
not only on Sundays after worship, but anytime the faciity
is open.
Additionally, families now
have access to the church's christian education material
from their home computer any day of the week.
The center is also
working with Cranberry Township resident Dave Sevick, founder
and CEO of
Cross IT Services
. Mr.
Sevick heads an effort to refurbish donated computers and
provide area residents with their own computer.
In a recent article
published in the Beaver County Times, Mrs Smith added, "All
of this fits in perfectly with the center's motto: Giving a
hand up, not a handout. This isn't intended to
be a toy; it's a tool," she said. "It's something
that can help out every person in the house."
"Visiting Fellowship
UMC's Center For Hope and seeing a room full of children excited
about using and playing with the OSS was like seeing our vision
of connecting the next generation with the Word come true!
We've all felt God's hand at work here." says Marianne
C. Ferrans, Simply Christian's co-founder.
