This Sabbath is Heritage Sabbath 2009. We look forward to hearing from our special guests, pastor's Fred Kinsey and Leslie Bumgardner and musical artist Joseph Backer. Be sure to join us following second service for a light fellowship luncheon and then stay for our early vespers concert beginning at 3:00pm and performed by pianist Joseph Backer. Please bring two of the following choices: sandwiches, hors'd oeuvres, salad and dessert.

 

Coming in the weeks ahead: 

Next Sabbath, we have two musical guests who will be performing for 2nd service. Dr. Sebronette Barnes, Assoc. Prof. of Fine Arts from Cheyney Univ. of PA is an accomplished soloist and will thrill you with her beautiful singing. Also performing is our own Roger Curley, playing some of his original arrangements. It is always a blessing to have Roger with us.

 

Bob's Big Boys softball team plays against First Alliance tonight at 7:20pm at Perry Park diamond #1. Next week they play Christ Lutheran at 6:15pm, at Perry Park diamond #2.

 

The Street Beat Ministry had a wonderful response to our collection of towels and toiletries for the homeless men's shelter. You opened your hearts and your wallets to show how you care for others in need. We hope to do this during the months of May and June each year.  Also, this winter we will be collecting again for coats, hats, gloves and scarves. Keep this in mind as you clean out your closets for fall.  Remember, only men's items will be accepted.

 

A new Prayer group has formed and they would like to invite you to join them. They meet every Tuesday at 7:00pm here in the garden room of the church. This group spends an hour in prayer for the requests that come in to the prayer team and the church office.
