Education Survey
Calling all members who are young at heart! The Education Commission wants to expand its pool of potential volunteers to help out with COA’s ministries to our youngest members. You don’t have to be a parent (or even a grandparent!) of a young person in order to help us minister to the children and youth in our congregation and community. Please consider whether you can offer a few hours per year to help us share Christ’s love with our community’s youth. See the colored insert in the bulletin; you can place completed inserts in the offering plate, or return them to the church office.
Apostles Cupboard
Apostles Cupboard will again be featured in the church craft Room 310 during the Bazaar. We will be offering a variety of special delights to please the palate while you shop, or to use as gifts. Donations of homemade holiday cookies and treats are most welcome. Items such as: jellies, nuts, oils, vinegars, pickles, sauces, teas, candies, fudge, cookies, and crackers are needed. Creative wrappings and packaging makes an attractive presentation. Donations may be dropped off in Room 310 on Wednesday, November 5th and Friday, November 7th from 4-7 p.m. For more information, please call Linda Schock at (717) 569-3837 or Dawn Dougherty at (717) 892-0350.
