Chile relief: Dustin and Sarah Gingrich, EMM missionaries from Landisville Mennonite, continue active involvement in relief efforts in Chile. If you would like to assist Chile relief efforts with a financial gift, funds can be sent to ”Chile relief, EMM, PO Box 458, Salunga, PA 17538″. Please continue to hold the people of Chile in prayer.
Embroidery of newborn blankets: For several years our congregation has gifted families at Parent-Child dedications with a blanket, which contained an embroidery with the baby’s name and birthday. Mae Stoltzfus most recently embroidered these blankets. We are currently looking for someone who would be willing to take the blankets to an Embroiderer so that this gift can continue. If you would be willing to assist in this, please contact a member of the pastoral team.
“Were you there?” A walk through Holy Week
Our traditional service on April 1 (Maundy Thursday) will take a different shape this year. Following our series of worship services in Lent, our Holy Week worship service will invite us back into the experiences of Holy Week. Using guided reflections, scripture reading, sights and sounds, & acts of worship such as communion & prayer, you will be invited to walk through the days of Holy Week. More information to about the service will be provided in coming weeks.
Help is needed in the nursery. Please add your name to the schedule posted on the nursery door & notify the church office. Thanks!
The Parenting Sunday school elective will discuss a different topic each Sunday in March (“Handling Money” March 7, “Discipline” March 14, “Boy/Girl Relationships” March 21, and “Passing on the Faith” March 28). If you are interested in serving on a panel of parents on any of these days, please let Jonathan Bowman know.
