February Mission of the Month
Special Collection for Schuylkill Center
The Mission Committee has become aware of a need at a local Nursing Center. Many of the residents have no support or involvement from family for various reasons. Sometimes the resident has outlived their significant others or family lives at a distance away. Although the Center provides a family atmosphere, clothing becomes worn and needs to be updated. We would like to help.
The Activity Department provides a variety of activities to stimulate the residents. Many puzzles are quite dog-eared and games have missing parts. We requested a list of items that we could donate to replace and enhance the interest of the residents.
Valentines are hanging on the bulletin board in the Sanctuary listing the item and size needed. If all the valentines are claimed, you are welcome to purchase any item on the list (also on the bulletin board). Return the items unwrapped to the marked bin in the Fellowship Hall by March 10th.
Money collected through the “Mission jar” will be used to purchase additional items.
We are commissioned to “Love One Another As Christ Loved Us.” Even the smallest gesture is so very much appreciated by these residents. Thank you so much for contributing to help care for these dear people.
January Mission of the Month
Heifer Project
The Mission Committee selected the Heifer Project for the month of January. This had been a Mission Project for many years during the life of this church. The project this year was a great success and allowed the children in the AMPED program to select a variety of animals to be provided to various locations in need. These animals included a heifer, pigs, sheep and goats, rabbits, and flocks of chickens. Thanks to all for their generosity and support!
Our Social Hall is available for rent by groups or individuals subject to board approval. For more information, please contact the church office.
