Week of July 16, 2017

Food Bank
Needs: Specifically—cold cereal, rice or rice helpers, pasta, crackers, dry soup, and canned items, including soups, fruits, beans, baked beans, tomatoes, and tuna.

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!

Church Campout
ALL members are invited to camp out at Rader Park from Saturday, August 5 at 1 pm through the 9:15 am service on August 6. There will be games and activities for all ages. If you cannot camp out for any reason, you are still welcome to join us for an all-church camp service at 4:30 pm with a potluck dinner and game to follow. Hamburgers, hotdogs, and utensils will be provided. Please bring a dish to share! It would be great to have as many church members at the service and potluck as possible. We hope to see you there!
