Pentecost ~ Sunday, May 23rd
Pentecost is the festival when Christians celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is regarded as the birthday of the Christian Church, and the start of the Church's mission to the world. On Sunday, May 23rd everyone is encouraged to wear red. The color red symbolizes joy and the fire of the Holy Spirit. It could be a shirt, a tie, a blouse, a dress, a skirt, a scarf, a necklace. Let's fill the church with the color red!

Graduate Recognition ~ Sunday, May 23rd
This past year has been a unique and challenging year for students. On Sunday, May 23rd, we would like to recognize those in our church family who have persevered and are graduating. If you or your child are graduating from high school, trade school, college, etc., please let the church office know ASAP. We would like to know where you will be graduating from as well as what your future plans are
Heart & Hand WV Mission Trip June 6th (Tenatively)
Following church services on Sunday, June 6th (tentatively), our team of volunteers will leave for Barbour County, West Virginia for the week. Would you like to join us? Please contact Andrew Pasquale 717-507-8206 or Tanya Voris 717-813-8500 for details. It is a week that could change your life!
What started in 2003 has led to an annual journey! A team of volunteers from our church along with friends have traveled to the region near Philippi to collaborate with the Heart and Hand Ministry that is based there. We provide all the materials necessary as well as hands-on help with housing needs ranging from new construction to much needed general repairs that could not otherwise be afforded.

Substitute Custodian Needed

100 Envelope Challenge Fundraiser For The Mission Trip
This year, again, has been challenging. Donations have been minimal due to cancelled fundraisers and low attendance at services. Because of the added challenges we are facing, there is a small group going again this year. The current funds are about $3,600. Depending on how much is raised will determine how much work can be done. We don’t have the current costs, but we do know that building materials have increased. We would like to work on the subflooring, walls, roof trusses and decking. There are also costs to the church we stay in, Heart and Hand, trailer rental, food, gas and tolls of approximately $1,200 - $1,500. We still hope to meet the family’s needs and that will give us the drive to do the Lord’s work. Therefore, we are asking you to participate in the 100 Envelope Challenge again this year. Contact Tanya Voris, 717-813-8500, to choose a number from 1 to 100. Once you get your number, put your check for that amount in an envelope and mail it or drop it off at the church, marked Heart & Hand Mission Trip. We know that these are tough times, so please, do not feel like you have to participate in this challenge. Prayers work just as well!
Mentoring Program With Our Youth
I am looking for some volunteers who would be willing to be a part of a church-wide ministry. We would like to pair each teenager with at least one non-family member adult. Anyone who has an interest in discipleship and loves pouring energy into teenagers would be a great fit for this ministry. I am asking for you to be willing to pray, write notes of encouragement and when Covid is better under control try to attend the teenager’s activities, such as school plays, musical events and sports. Thank you for making me feel such a part of the Cornwall Church family. I have really enjoyed my time here and you have made me feel like this is home. If you are interested and willing to participate, please email me at js200@cairn.edu. Jon Simpson
Piano Players Needed For 8am Service
Volunteers are desperately needed to play piano for the 8 A.M. Informal Service. You do not need to play every Sunday; players will be scheduled based on their availability. If you are interested in helping or simply have any
questions, please contact the church office at 717-272-0148.

Wanting College Student's Information
The pandemic has been difficult for our college students, with college life far different than expected or wanted. Many are dealing with constant changes to their schedules and changes to their living situations (on-line classes only, no sports or extra curricular activities, quarantine on campus, campus closings with little notice, just to name a few). We would like to support the college students who are a part of our congregation by including a college student of the week in our printed church announcements. Please contact the church office as soon possible at 717-272-0148 or cornwallumc@comcast.net, with the student’s name, college attending (list on-campus or at home), and mailing address (even if you think we already know).
The church office is open M-F from 9a.m. to 12 noon -If you are going to pick something up at the church and do not have a key, please use the entrance off 419, closest to the parsonage during office hours. If you need something and are unable to come out to the church please let us know and we will arrange to get it to you.
We have resources available at the church for those who are looking for something to read or study.
Library – The public library may be closed but the Church library is still open. Stop by to pick out a book to help you get through this time of isolation.
Devotionals – Our Daily Bread and The Upper Room devotional books are available in the first floor foyer and on the lower level on the table outside Pastor Tim's office.

Opportunities to serve
Volunteers Needed For The 2nd Thursday Of Every Month.
LCCM continues to serve meals by bagging lunches for the needy and needs volunteers to help make up these lunches. There will be no contact with those receiving meals and social distancing and masks are implemented for your safety. If you are low risk and willing to volunteer, please call Sue Brimmer
(717-273-6224) if you have questions or just want to know how it all works.
A new sign-up poster for the first six months of 2021 is located on the wall above the grocery cart in the link. We now have a standing date of the 2nd Thursday of each month, except August. Those dates are: January 14, February 11, March 11, April 8, May 13, and June 10.
Especially needed are volunteers for our
next serving date:

Our Congregational Care Team Needs YOU!
Did you know that Cornwall Church has an active Congregational Care Team?
We provide meals to members and friends whose lives were interrupted by surgery, illness, the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one or other life-changing events. On average each team member might provide two meals a year to those in need. You do not need to be a great cook, just be willing to provide a meal, whether it be homemade, a grocery store rotisserie chicken, or even pizza.
Members of the team also eased the burden for grieving families by serving several funeral luncheons. Many helped with food in the kitchen, clean-up, or provided a dessert for the lunch. Over the past few years our list of volunteers has dwindled. Please consider adding your name to the list. We
realize that not everyone is available every time they are called but many hands make light work. For more information or to add your name to the meal list, funeral help list, or dessert list contact
Sue Brimmer @ 717-273-6224 or email sbrimmer1675@gmail.com
THANK YOU to those already serving on the congregational care team. Your kindness and willingness to help when called, many times with very short notice, is gratefully appreciated.

Everyone is welcome to join us in making a joyful noise to the Lord. Practices are held each Thursday at 7:30 P.M. in the choir room. The choir sings through mid-June in the 10:30 A.M.

Coffee set up for the Link
Are you looking to serve at the church, but not quite sure what you would like to do? How about signing the list to help set up the coffee in the Link on a Sunday morning. At this time we have five faithful servers, but we are looking to add to this group. We usually sign up for a month at a time (someone is always willing to change for a week or two, if needed). You can set up the coffee the night before and finish up with the cookies, cold drinks and pretzels on Sunday morning, if you like. Or you can come in early on Sunday morning. This takes about 25 to 30 minutes. Please consider joining our group. Call Pauline Habegger, or Jean Bonneville with any questions. Thanks Jean Bonneville 717-272-8263 – home number Jlb001@comcast.net - email 717-507-6023 – text or cell phone.
