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.
