Prayer Box
We now have a Community Prayer Box at the corner of Wilson Street & College Ave in Factoryville. Don’t let your hopes, dreams, fears, concerns and prayers go unsaid. Give them to God! Place your prayers on a slip of paper in the slot (right above the cross) and the folks at the Factoryville United Methodist Church will pray with you. Drop them off when you are driving by or if in the FoodShare line. All prayers remain anonymous and confidential unless otherwise specified.
