Weekly Announcements and Prayer Requests
Dear ESUMC Family & Friends
Grace and peace to you!
We are incredibly grateful for the faithfulness, generosity, and love that our church family continues to show. Because of your prayers, volunteer efforts, and financial support, Esperance-Sloansville United Methodist Church remains a place where people gather to worship, grow in faith, and serve our community.
In the coming months, we have several important and urgent maintenance and improvement projects that are necessary to care for the buildings and resources God has entrusted to us. These projects are not simply repairs—they are investments in the future of our church and our ability to continue welcoming others into this place of worship.
Our current project needs include:
- Church Annex roof repair: $11,000
- Parsonage deck replacement: $2,500
- Parsonage flooring: $1,300
- Parsonage exterior door replacement: $500
- Stone for the parsonage driveway: $1,000
- Pipe organ service and maintenance: $5,000
(Our organ has faithfully led worship for many years and has not received a full service in over 10 years.)
These needs represent a total of $21,300.
While this may seem like a significant amount, we know that God has always provided for our church through the generosity and faithfulness of His people. Every gift—large or small—helps move us closer to completing these projects and preserving our church for future generations.
If you feel led to contribute toward one of these projects your support would be deeply appreciated. Donations can be made payable to: ESUMC Trustees, PO Box 254, Esperance, NY 12066
Just as importantly, we ask for your prayers—for wisdom as we prioritize these projects, for those completing the work, and for God's continued provision for our church family.
Thank you for your continued commitment to Esperance-Sloansville United Methodist Church. Together, through faith, generosity, and God's grace, we can care for the place that has meant so much to so many and ensure it continues to serve our congregation and community for years to come.
With gratitude and hope,
The Trustees
Esperance-Sloansville United Methodist Church
