Market Basket
During the first three Sundays of each month, you have the opportunity to buy grocery cards in the office after service. You can buy cards for the following month and pick up the ones you ordered last month. Remember, the discount we earn from purchasing cards in bulk from Giant, Stauffers, and Weis provide food for the Saturday Breakfast downtown once a month. Helping others is easy, as well as a wonderful thing!
Wacky Wednesday
Wacky Wednesday continues on August 8 at 10:00 am in Rader Park. Bring your child(ren) ages preschool through third grade (and their friends!) to enjoy a story, activity and snack, and learn more about the park and its native wildlife.
Friday Night at the Movies
Join us on Friday, August 10 at 6:30 pm in Rader Park for a night at the movies to see “Disneynature: Earth,” the story of how three animal mothers, a polar bear, an African elephant, and a humpback whale, keep their young safe in increasingly dangerous environments.
Bring your blankets, chairs, and bring a friend! Popcorn, pretzels, and drinks will be provided. There is no charge to attend this event. Please RSVP at the Rader Park bulletin board in the lobby.
COA and Transitional Living Center Picnic
There’s still time to sign up for the picnic COA is hosting for the Transitional Living Center (TLC) on Sunday, August 12 from 1–4 pm. We are proud to support this vital ministry that assists persons and families to transition from homelessness to permanent housing.
We can all help make this a memorable experience for TLC. How can you help?
- We need two “grill masters” to cook hot dogs and burgers
- We need donations of “covered dishes” to go with the hot dogs and burgers, even if the donor(s) can’t attend
- We need enough food donations to feed as many as 100 people in total
- We need people to help set up as well as clean up
Most importantly, we need YOU! We need our church family to attend and to fellowship with our guests, play games with them, and make them feel at home.
Thank you, in advance, for participating in this exciting event. Together, we can continue to positively affect the lives of those at TLC! If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Andy Appel at (717) 490-0093. Please sign up to volunteer at the Rader Park bulletin board in the lobby.
Church Family Picnic
Join us for the last Church Family Picnic Night of the summer on Wednesday, August 15 at 5:15 pm. All are welcome to join us for a family-style picnic! Hot dogs, buns, and drinks will be provided. We ask that each family bring one dish to share. Come for fun and fellowship! Please sign up at the Rader Park bulletin board in the lobby if you plan to attend.
Wishing Well
For the remainder of the summer, we will continue to collect home care and personal care items for the Apostles Assistance Fund. Rev. Kathryn Kuhn and Rev. Heather Giffen receive many requests for home and personal care supplies, so we need to fill these needs through the Apostles Assistance Fund. Items needed are posted on sticky notes on two posters (one in the cloak room and one on the Outreach bulletin board). Thank you for supporting this outreach ministry.
