Please remember those who need our help and place food items on the table in the fellowship room. Also please remember the Assistance Fund that we use to help those in our community with special needs. Just place the words "Deacon's Fund" on your check or envelope.
The Wycliffe Bible Translators is in need of our used stamps for Andy and Katy Ring. Please bring in your used stamps and give them to Sue M.
The Lions Club is collecting new and good used books for the Susquehannna Country Libary's Outreach Program. Books for Preschoolers through 6th grade are needed to be distributed to needy children throughout the country. The library has had a 38% reduction in operating funds which affects the Outreach programs. Give books to Nancy L.
Every Sunday service we have coffee and pastries in the back room. Stop by and get to know everyone better. Carol E. is coordinating the Coffee Room. Contact her if you are bringing a cake in honor of someone, etc.
If you would like to join our choir, we'd love to have you sing with us. 9:15 am on Sunday morning is when we practice.
Gretchen S. is in charge of flowers to decorate our church for services. If you would like to have flowers placed in the church to honor or memorialize someone, please contact her. If you have a plant or flowers to share with us on a Sunday, please bring them. The more flowers we have the nicer the church looks.
Our deacons are sending out cards and so if you have any "thinking of you" or "Get Well" cards, especially if they have a spiritual theme, it would save us money if you brought them to the church so we could use them. If you want to donate a box of cards like these, that would also be great.
Youth Group: The teens recycle cans and bottles. If you bring your cans and bottles on Sunday mornings and leave them by the shed that is between the cottage we just bought and the church. The youth thank you for helping them raise money for projects and to cover costs.

Don't forget that we tape our services and if you would like to listen or take the tape to someone, please do. They are kept in the church office, in a rack on the wall near the copy machine.
We have cards and envelopes available to send to folks to encourage them through illnesses, etc. They can be found in the coffee room.
The film Holy Land Experience is available for loan. It is well worth the viewing. Let Pastor Ken know if you would like to view it at home and he will put you on the list to borrow it.
Remember the Restoration Fund. The repairs need to be done before we can add onto the coffee room, Just place the words "Church Encouragement Fund" on your check or envelope.
