Introducing our Treasurer
Emily Slocum
We welcome Emily Slocum, who was recently appointed Treasurer for our church after a search process by the Staff Parish Relations Committee. After some transition time with Kathy Manguso, our outgoing treasurer, she is quickly coming up to speed on her new role.
Emily has her Bachelor’s in accounting from Hilbert College and her Master’s in Business Administration from Saint Bonaventure University. Emily started her professional career as an accounts payable clerk at Mayer Bros Apple Products in 2017, then became a Senior Accountant at Delaware North before landing her current role as Senior Cost Accountant at Prestolite Electric in Arcade, NY.
Emily currently resides in Hamburg with her husband, Ryan, her step-daughters, Molly & Stella, her 5 month-old son, Charlie, and family dogs, Chewie and Apollo. Emily loves to cook, decorate cookies, and paint Buffalo scenes. Emily’s favorite places in the Buffalo area include Silo City, the Buffalo Outer Harbor, and the Buffalo Central Terminal!
If you need to reach Emily, email her at treasurer@hamburgumc.org.
We look forward to introducing you to Emily during our June 16 service.
Again, welcome Emily!

CALL TO WORSHIP
O Church of God, united, we have a mission:
to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!
O people of God, we have a vision:
to ignite and sustain a passionate spiritual relationship with Christ among all people!
O brothers and sisters, we have one great value at the core of our being:
To love!
We shall love our God with all that we have
and love our neighbors as ourselves.
OPENING MUSIC: “ Come, Let us Use the Grace Divine” #606 UMH
OPENING PRAYER:
Great God of waves and flames,
Are we wet enough to burn brightly?
As we gather today
to celebrate the baptism of our Lord
set your seal upon our hearts,
wash our sin-stained robes righteous,
and cool our tempers and angers
while fueling our desire for justice.
Make us be living water and living flames
to give relief to those who thirst and to bring light to those who sit in darkness.
As you did in Elijah’s day,
rain down flames upon us,
O God,
So that we may be wet enough to burn brightly. Amen
