The Church Steeple Lighting Program was established many years ago as an opportunity for anyone who has any connection to the Lake Sunapee UMC or community to memorialize family, friends, or loved ones. Sponsorship of memorial lighting is reserved on a semi-monthly basis. A suggested donation of $20 for each half month period is gratefully accepted to help with the lighting.

If you would like to participate in this program, please contact sunapeeumc@gmail.org, phone the church at 603-763-4301, or send a note to Lake Sunapee UMC, Attn: Steeple Lighting, PO Box 335, Sunapee, NH 03782.
