The Weekly Vision

December's Mission Can is designated for the Adams County Literacy Council

want to learn English or earn a GED. For class schedules or to volunteer
your time, see the materials at the Mission Can bulletin board.

Berkey family, Evadel Crider, Mary Rudisill, Marie Clabaugh, David
Clapsaddle, Mary Heiser, Mary Fleming, Ida Smith, Merle Rudisill, Regina
(Rudisill) Campbell, Michael Wilhelm, Eleanor Tate, Carolyn Dillman,
Christopher Spatz, Bill Ryder, Earl Lutz, Ruth Abrams, Jeff Persell, Sally
Becker, Jeremiah Giles, Agnes Palmer, Jamie Angleberger, Ronnie Fogle, and Noel Myers.

The Mission Committee formerly headed by Martha Ford is looking for volunteers. Please contact Jackie Angleberger at 624-8388 if you are interested in serving on this committee in 2004.

A REMINDER: Be sure to deposit your Christmas cards for church friends in the hallway POSTAL BOX. Have you checked the slot with your last name initial for your cards?

Crafty Ladies invite you to visit their Christmas Craft display in the Fellowship Hall after the worship service this morning. There are still some items available for sale from the Snowflake Festival which would make excellent gifts and holiday decorations.

Please help Pastor Joyce "Get Out of Jail" as she raises money for MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY. See the poster located near the back entrance.

A SPECIAL MEETING for the audio/visual work group involved with designing a new sound system for our Sanctuary will be held on Monday 8 Dec 03 at 6:00 PM in the conference room. The work group will meet with Chris Hicks, the Central PA Conference A/V consultant, to review the specifications of the system he has proposed. Please contact Larry Speer at 642-6123 to confirm your attendance.

A NOTE OF THANKS: Thank you for the prayers and get well wishes for me during my stay in the York Hospital and my recovery time at Diana's home. A special thank you to my sister Diana for the love and care she has been showing me during this time. Carolyn Dillman

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.
