Suggestion Box
Don’t forget to let us know if you notice something today that should be repaired or replaced.  Write it down on the suggestion card while you’re here and drop it in the suggestion box on the wall beside the parlor. The Property Commission appreciates when our members notice something that needs our attention. Keeping our church attractive and safe is a job all of us can do together.

Harvest Home Sunday
Each year, we celebrate the bounty of the harvest by giving donations to help feed those in need. We ask our church family to bring nonperishable foods to place at the altar on Sunday, September 13th. Monetary gifts may be put into the Harvest Home/Food Bank special offering envelope and placed in the collection plate. Foods most needed are: cereal, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, meat, pasta, rice, spaghetti sauce and soup. Please open your hearts and give generously. If you have any questions, please contact Linda Schock at (717) 569-3837.

Market Basket Anyone?
Would you like to give anywhere from $2.50 to $32.50 a month to help people who need support? That’s what people do when they buy grocery cards. The cards are given to non-profits (like churches) at a 5% discount. You pay the same amount for your groceries, but our Outreach Committee is able to use the discount to support programs like Saturday Morning Breakfast downtown and to purchase grocery cards for the Apostles Assistance Fund.

The cards come from Stauffers, Weis, and Giant. You can choose both the store you want and the amount of the card. Just come into the office after either the first or second service on the first, second, or third Sunday of the month to purchase the cards you want. Then you can pick up the cards the next month during the same weeks as of above.

Everyone goes to the grocery store. Help someone else while you shop!

Heifer Project
As the summer Heifer Fund project draws to a close on September 6, we are asking that children return their pledges and collections by that date to Judy Waltman or Linda Lewis.
