Wishing Well
We are going to continue to reach out to those in our community by collecting needed items for the Transitional Living Center (TLC) on King Street. TLC helps many homeless people by providing safe and caring shelter to them until they are able to obtain housing of their own. We will be collecting needed supplies in the Wishing Well during the months of March and April. You can find items needed on two posters (one above the Wishing Well and one on the Outreach bulletin board in the Narthex). Please place items in the well by the end of April. If you have any questions, please see Jane McCartney.
Invest in the Youth—Buy Stock!
Throughout the month of March, the youth will be selling certificates of “stock” in between services that will allow you to invest in the youth for their trip to the National Youth Event this summer. Each of these certificates will be sold for a minimum of $20 each, and will become your “ticket” to our Stockholder’s Dinner on Sunday, August 28, where the youth will do a presentation on their trip in the Fellowship Hall.
New Beginnings
Following a dessert social at 1:00 pm on Thursday, April 14 in the Fellowship Hall, New Beginnings will participate in an adult educational session of “What in the World is This?” (WITWIT). The session will feature lesser-known facts about the world we live in, presented in a multiple-choice format with individual and table competitions. Come, join in the fun, and learn some things you may not have known before.
Adult Education
The adult education class “Who is My Neighbor?” will continue to meet each Sunday at 10:45 am until March 20th. This program is highlighting speakers on Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. All are welcome to participate in this informative series. Child care will be available. If you have any questions, please contact Doris Robb at (717) 393-7788.
