Youth Group Heading to Appalachia!

In June, ten members of our Youth Group will rehab homes through the Appalachian Service Project, an organization whose mission is to make homes "warmer, safer, drier."

So far, we have raised almost half of the money we need for our trip. Help us reach our goal through our Envelope Challenge!

Our Mission Board in the Parish Hall has 100 envelopes, each with a number on it: choose the number matching the amount you'd like to donate. Place your donation amount matching the number you chose into the envelope and return by May 26^th. Thank you!

Give Now & Support our Youth Group!

A big “thank you” to everyone who participated in and helped create our Earth Day Celebration. We began the day reading Prayers of the People Honoring God in Creation, confessed our sins against God’s Creation, and learned about the Green Team’s goals, accomplishments and aspirations. We watched and learned as Bernie and Debbie Miller finalized the planting of a young Stuartia tree on the front lawn, complete with a prayer for nature by Rev. Jill, and provided the herb seeds and seedlings we planted for our own homes. We toured the property with Rev Jill and viewed our magnificent 300-year-old Penn Oak tree. And we admired the interesting and creative centerpiece honoring the day, courtesy of the Millers, that adorned our coffee-hour table. Please join our team, recycle with us, and stay tuned for future Green Team events.

We had a great Earth Day celebration!
