What's Happening In The Church
Events At Cornwall UMC
Youth Mission Trip
Find out where we are going! November 2nd through the 4th the youth group is going on a weekend mission trip. We are trying to raise about $400 more for the trip to cover transportation and food. Want to know where we are going? There is a poster board in the lobby of the church. The poster is covered with little papers hiding a picture. Each time we receive a $5 donation one of the papers will be removed. The picture under all the papers will reveal where we are going for the mission trip. There will be envelopes labeled "youth mission trip to ____________" in the lobby near the poster and also in the church bulletin.
Help Our Neighbors
Disaster struck again in Tremont and surrounding towns in Schuylkill County. Rainstorms produced flooding in communities throughout the region that some say is worse than the deluge caused by Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Bishop Peggy Johnson is asking Eastern PA Conference churches to respond with donations. The Mission Committee is sending $1,000 toward this effort. Please consider helping our neighbors with your own donation. Checks can be made out to Cornwall UMC with
Disaster Recovery #0345 on the subject line. Envelopes are also available in the foyer for cash donations.
Chancel Choir
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. Traditional Service. If you would like to sing but cannot commit to every Sunday, you are still welcome to join us.
If you have any questions please contact Mike Brimmer at 679-0504 (cell phone)or Jennifer Trexler at j_brimmer@hotmail.com

Opportunities to serve
Pruning & Weeding
We are still looking for volunteers to prune the bushes in the courtyard and weed around the church. If anyone has expertise in tree pruning, the tree in between the garage and Memorial Garden needs to be cut back. If you are willing to work on that and have questions, please call Ryan Fretz for instructions.
Take a look at the renovated courtyard. Once again, Ryan Fretz came up with a plan to renovate the pavers, bridges, and waterfall. The old water feature had failed a number of years ago and the bridges were too steep, especially when wet or covered with algae. Please let Ryan know how much we appreciate his work.

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. You can contact Judy Heath, Pauline Habegger, or Jean Bonneville with any questions. We would like to set the calendar for the year by the end of this December. Thanks Jean Bonneville 717-272-8263 – home number Jlb001@comcast.net - email 717-507-6023 – text or cell phone.
