Opportunities for Ministry

SUMMER SPECIAL MUSIC: Thanks to all of you who signed up to provide special
music and praise for the summer months. There are only a few slots left so
please be sure to sign up before they're all taken.
Please have music to Kelly no later than two weeks before the service in which you are performing.

Attention All Quilters:
The Mission Committee is looking for people who quilt. We would like to put together a baby quilt for Sarah Rose who continues with her surgeries and chemotherapy for eye cancer. We are looking to do a 12 block quilt. Each person would make their own block and then someone would piece them all together to make the final quilt. Each block would also be signed by the person who quilted it. If you are a quilter or are interested in doing a quilt block for Sarah Rose, Please see Jackie Angleberger or call her at 717-624-8388. A volunteer is also needed to put all the pieces together.

ATTENTION KENNIE'S SHOPPERS!
If you are a frequent shopper at any Kennie's
Market location and you'd be willing to designate Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Adams County for the Community Treasures program, please contact Laura
Geesaman at 334-1138 or landt@pa.net

The church still needs a Habitat for Humanity coordinator. Please contact the church office for more information or to volunteer.

Reminder: Summer office hours are
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 pm. M - F.

Application for Lay Speakers School are available on the Opportunities for
Ministry bulletin board. This is the Basic Lay Speaker's Class with an
emphasis on discovering your spiritual gifts and implementing them in the local church.

Regular and large print Bibles are available at the back of the church for your use.
We invite you to use one to follow along in the reading of today's scripture.

PEW ENVELOPES! You may have noticed the pew envelopes and on top of the mission can. These envelopes are to be used for donations to the church that are not covered by your regular envelopes. Some examples are mission can donations, special collections, special service offerings, etc. If the envelopes are used, we will be able to add that record to your giving statement. Please be sure to put your envelope number and/or name on the envelope so we know to which account it should be recorded. If you have any questions, please see Fred Myers or Connie Thompson.

Tape Ministry - Our members in nursing homes and those unable to get to church and now able to hear our Sunday services and feel a part of the church congregation. If you know of a shut-in and would like to take a tape to them, please call Ed and Charlotte Moore @ 334-1716. We owe David Schmidt a debt of gratitude for helping us in recording these tapes.

REMINDER: Please remember to call or e-mail the office by Tuesday prior to the Sunday you are sponsoring bulletins or altar flowers. Phone or mail reminders are no longer being issued - that information is now part of the newsletter. All announcements to be placed in the Weekly Vision must also be in the office by Tuesday. Thank you.
