Church Family News

Church Family Meeting

The next church family meeting is today immediately after worship in the auditorium. Members will receive updates on finances and facilities projects as well as plans for fall ministry and recommendations from the Family Discipleship Vision Team. See chairman Keith Folmar with any questions.

Canopies & Coolers

If you lent a cooler, canopy, dish, or container for the Good News Cruise yesterday, it is in Fellowship Hall and ready for you to pick up. Be sure to grab it today before you leave. Thanks!

Join Us at Prayer Meeting

Each Wednesday at 7:00pm, a group of Christians meet to pray and to study God’s Word in the Fellowship Hall. Some who attend find it to be one of the most heartening hours of their week. Currently, Joel Michaels is leading us through a study of the Gospel of Mark. Nobody is put on the spot to pray out loud, but all are encouraged to attend and help lift up the needs of our church, community, nation, and world.

Heading Off to College?

As you get your housing information, be sure to pass your address along to the church office so that our church family can be an encouragement to you this school year.

Operation Christmas Child

Our church will once again participate in the OCC Shoebox campaign this year. With school supplies on sale, now is a great time to pick up some items in preparation for packing a shoebox to bless a needy child.

Fellowship Hall in Use

The fellowship hall will be in use Saturday, August 27^th from 12:00pm to 5:00pm.

Volunteers Needed to Help Cru

Abe and Jordyn Skacel with Penn State Cru have a volunteer opportunity available. Cru will be administering digital QR code surveys to students on Aug 22-24 & 29-31. Each day will be 11am-1pm & 2pm-4pm on the University Park campus. This survey is used by Cru to gather new contacts for the year. Provided is a free shirt to wear. Volunteers would ask students as they walk by if they could take a quick survey and hold up the QR code to scan with their phones. You do not have to be there for the whole time. Any amount of time any day is valued. Anyone who would like to volunteer can contact the Skacels (Jordyn.skacel@Cru.org, Abraham.skacel@Cru.org) for more information!

Ark Park Meet n’ Play

Moms and their littles are invited each Wednesday for a time to play outside and have fun together! We’ll meet at the Ark Park at 9:00am or come and go as you please. The church building will be open for restrooms and water, and juice boxes will be provided. Event is cancelled in the event of rain.

Our Daily Bread

The latest edition of Our Daily Bread for September, October, and November is now available on the worship resource tables and by the Community Bulletin Board.

Explore the Bible at Home

Many adults in our church are utilizing the Explore the Bible resources to dig deeper into God’s word. Pick up your free copy of 1, 2 Kings and join as we continue in our study this week with Session 12: God Hears.

Giving Opportunities
