Pennsylvania churches unite to help neighbors

— Old Union Presbyterian Church

A volunteer work team comprised of 13 volunteers from six Pennsylvania congregations served in Montoursville, Pennsylvania, this summer. In late July the team of members from Old Union Presbyterian Church (Mars), Crestview Community Presbyterian Church (Callery), Paris Presbyterian Church (Burgettstown), and three other congregations traveled to Montoursville to serve in 2011 flood recovery.

Pastor DeVries from Old Union Presbyterian Church shares, “The team was hosted by the Montoursville Presbyterian Church and spent the week rehabilitating a home that had been devastated by the flood. Our work included completion of gutting the house, reconstruction of room partitions, re-wiring, installing insulation, roof patching, and dry-walling.”

Thanks to Old Union Presbyterian Church for leading the team and sharing their photos with us.
