hard getting the Chrismons made for the 2 Christmas trees we decorate each
Christmas season. Monetary donations
to help cover the cost of materials would be greatly appreciated!
Each ornament roughly costs $10.00. Please
see Sarah Jay, or donations may be brought to the church office.
Be sure to check out the finished ornaments on exhibit in the coffee hour
room…..they truly are a work of art! Calling all
Comfort Food Makers!:
It has often been said that the best way
to someone’s heart is through the stomach!
Sometimes a home cooked meal can make all the difference in the world,
especially during difficult or trying times.
If you would like to provide a cooked meal for someone in need, please
let me know. I would also appreciate
if you could help identify individuals who may benefit due to a birth, death in
the family, illness, injury, or other reason.
Please contact me at 838-1107 and I will joyfully serve as your Comfort
Food Coordinator!
Julie Insana, Deacon Deacons Visitation/Assistance : Please call the church office (734-3511), contact one of the deacons, or Jim Vanstone, moderator for the deacons (734-3675), if you know of anyone hospitalized or shut-in who would enjoy a visit. Please tell us if you know of someone who needs shoveling at their home, or if someone is having difficulty attending church due to being unable to drive. Contact us if there is any manner in which we can be of assistance. By loving and caring……...it is the deacons commitment, through the grace of God, to serve. Hospital
equipment is available for use at no cost. Please
call Karen in the church office (734-3511), or contact Brian & Heather
Zimmerman, or Jim Vanstone. Cookies For Our
Troops:
The Women's Association in the church has formed a new committee called
the “Cookie
Circle”.
The committee consists of 10 women, each baking 4 dozen cookies at their
homes. The cookies are then brought
to the church by the 15th of each month for packing and mail delivery
to our American troops who are deployed. Sending soldiers homemade cookies is one way of
expressing our thanks to them for all they do!
Sound
System: The church sound
system during our worship services,
weddings and special programs is a technique that is very important.
The sophistication of our system enhances the beauty of the music and the
tones of those voices speaking.
The church is in need of someone or two to take over the responsibility
of the operation of the sound system. Our sincere
thanks and gratitude to the present operators of the system for their dedication
and knowledge shared over the years. Please see Wesley Gould
with questions you may have and for further details. Per Capita:
Each
year our congregation pays a per member amount to the Presbytery as our share of
the administrative costs of running the Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly.
The per capita for 2008 is $ 25.92. per member.
Some of our members are picking up this cost as an over and above
contribution to the church. If you
wish to do this please place it in the envelope marked per capita in your
envelop packet and mail to the church.
Share Your
Skills:
The Bldg and Grounds Committee is looking for someone with the skill to strip and refinish the step units in the
sanctuary. If you would be able to help, please talk to Jim Renn or leave a message with Karen in the church
office.
