Parish. Here are some brief descriptions to give you a feel for these important
programs.

Appalachia Service Project
Mill Creek Parish United Methodist Church has been sending youth and adults
on a service mission trip with Appalachia Service Project every summer for over
20 years. ASP is a home repair/home building ministry. Youth and adult volunteers
work in teams making repairs to homes in Central Appalachia. All repairs focus
on making homes warmer, safer and drier for people living in substandard, poverty
conditions. Volunteers thrive in the compassionate community of service, returning
home blessed from the rich experience.
FISH Choir
Friends in Spiritual Harmony, or FISH, is a youth choir that practices on Sunday
evenings from 5:30 to 6:30 and sings during worship services throughout the year.
F.I.S.H. is jointly directed by Mrs. Carolyn Williams and Mill Creek choir director
Debra Newhall. Join in the joy
Youth Bell Choir
We welcome any youth interested in learning this form of music making. The
choir plays during the worship services every few months.
