“Called to Uproot and to Plant” October 24
We will host this year’s Faith & Justice Assembly in our Fellowship Hall today from 4 PM – 6 PM on the issue of 100% fair funding for Pennsylvania public education. If you are interested in this topic or you want to know more about it, please join us. It will be a time of singing, explaining the issue, hearing from those directly affected and praying. Our congregation is also supplying the snacks and refreshments.
