Welcome, Sands Family!

Please join us in welcoming Pastor Jim Sands and his family to Monaca UMC! Pastor Jim was born and raised in Carmichaels, Pa., and has most recently served in the town of Windber, near Johnstown. He has won awards for his management style, customer service skills, and excellence in preaching. He and his wife Kristen have two children: Ryan (10) and Molly (3).

Sunday, July 3, will be the family’s first Sunday with us, and on Sunday, July 10th, we will host a cake social immediately following worship to formally welcome the family and give everyone a better opportunity to get to know each other.
