Somerset Area Ecumenical Activities
Organizations
Grace United Methodist Church shares in ministry with other local churches in several ways. The local ministerium, Somerset Area Ministries (SAM), draws leaders from many area churches for fellowship, prayer, and shared ministry. The Somerset Cluster of United Methodist Churches brings us together for activities such as Summer Day Camp at Camp Allegheny. The National Day of Prayer draws Christians of all backgrounds together each year for prayer at the County Courthouse.Activities
