Bus to Bethlehem @ Christmastime

Experience Bethlehem and all its holiday events, shopping, lunch, museums and tour of the beautiful evening lights. We are inquiring how many church members and their friends may be interested. Please contact Martha Miller at 717- 699-1883 to let her know if you are interested.
On-going activities:
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.
