Joining us for worship on May 10th...

For more than ten years, Kathy Dickriede served in full time youth ministry at Mentor UMC. She and her husband, Dr. Dan Dickriede, having traveled throughout Sub-Saharan Africa the past twelve months, are now back with us in the East Ohio Conference.  Kathy's husband Danny is an ER doctor in the Cleveland area who has worked with Doctor's Without Borders.

Kathy serves as a Deacon currently doing ministry as a missionary in Africa.  Throughout these next several months, in cooperation with the UMC East Ohio Annual Conference, and the 3C's Initiative, Clinics in West Africa, Kathy & Danny have setdown the details of new ministries in Liberia as they look for local churches to partner with them in ministry in Liberia. Kathy shares her life with many people, but specifically with two amazing men: Dan and her step-son Murphy. Life is good and she is honored to be sharing in ministry with Perry UMC.


"The Man From Aldersgate" is an acclaimed one-man stage performance in which actor Roger Nelson portrays John Wesley. We, as modern United Methodists, may be particularly engaged by experiencing a live presentation which revisits the very roots of Methodist tradition.


This event is being hosted by Concord Hope Ridge UMC on Friday, May 1, 2009 at 7:30 PM. The presentation consists of 2 forty-five minute acts. Hope Ridge will provide refreshments during the intermission.


Admission is $10 per person at the door or $7 in advance. For more information or tickets, contact Sue Ritts at (440) 251-0246 or Jeanie Vargo at Hope Ridge UMC, (440) 639-2405.
