Mission of this group is three-fold:
- Provide social opportunities.
- Establish a community outreach relationship with the residents of Cornwall Manor to enhance and/or support resident opportunities. This volunteer activity is individually scheduled and not a group-scheduled event.
- Establish a “Helping Hand” program for CUMC members 60 years of age and older living alone, not a resident of another retirement or nursing facility, who have lost a loved one, and would appreciate a helping hand.
Activities include: 3-4 seasonal group events:
* Spring - dinner honoring church family members 80 years old and older
* Fall - themed picnic
* Fall/winter - holiday musical event
* Bus outings

Calling All Cards....
We have instituted a Card Ministry as an instrument to extend friendship and caring on behalf of XYZ Fellowship. Perhaps you have some greeting cards such as birthday, get well, sympathy, thinking of you that you'd like to donate. Sometimes drawers and boxes overflow with cards that are forgotten.
Harriet Doll would love to give your donations a new home when recognizing other's life's journeys. There are marked baskets on the bench outside the sanctuary and another on the table near the first floor elevator where you can place you unused cards and envelopes.

XYZ Monthly Outing:
• Small group on the bus trips--Bob Ladd, Creator
• Each month we would have a designated captain (captains if a couple) who would pick a restaurant or other activity or venue to go to. They would make the reservations and solicit the signups.
• The captain or someone he/she assigns would drive the church bus from the church to the restaurant/venue and return, filling the gas tank before returning it to the church. The bus is an important element because of the camaraderie on the trip and it holds 15 including the driver.
• Everyone would be responsible for their own meals or other costs and asked to donate toward the cost of the fuel. The dates would have to be cleared with the church office to assure availability of the bus.
• Any restaurant for lunch or dinner, dinner theater, Longwood or Hershey Gardens, museum, a minor league baseball game etc. within 1.5 hours away. They can be day or night, weekday or weekend. Use your imagination!!
