From staff reports
Christ United Methodist Church in Franklin held a mission collection during its Vacation Bible School to raise funds for patient hardship needs at UPMC Northwest.
Seventy children, ages four years through sixth grade, participated in the church’s Vacation Bible School this summer.
Each day of Bible school, the children brought in their donations and deposited them into a doctor’s bag. The adults also took up a collection during their regular church services.
The effort was conducted in conjunction with the Northwest Hospital Foundation.
