Ever since 2003, a team of volunteers from our church, along with friends, have traveled to the region near Philippi, WV to collaborate with the Heart and Hand Ministry that is based there. We provide all of 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. Many jobs available from cooking for workers to building. We can find something for you to do if your heart is missions.

September 20-22nd - Seminar and Concert by Author/Musician Michael Card. Tickets can be purchased now..click on links below
Hosted by The Tuesday Night Ladies Bible Study Group
The Tuesday night Bible Study group is celebrating 10 years of Bible study. We began our study with the book of Genesis and have continued through the Bible, currently studying Galatians. Our group used books written by award winning Christian author/musician Michael Card when studying the four gospels. Most of our Bible study members have attended one or several Michael Card seminars and three of us traveled to Israel with him. We are very excited to share some of this amazing teaching and meaningful music with our congregation and community. This seminar is open to anyone interested in attending and they historically sell out. We would like our Cornwall UM family to have opportunity to purchase tickets before they are available to the public starting March 15th. The event begins Friday night with a seminar session. There are two sessions on Saturday and two sessions on Saturday afternoon. The theme of the conference is "Hesed" and is best translated as "lovingkindness" (in a world that isn't kind.). Attendees will be on their own for lunch but snacks will be provided between the morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday.
The seminar ends with a concert on Sunday evening. The link below allows you to purchase conference tickets (which includes the concert). If you can't make the conference but are interested in the concert, those tickets can also be purchased through the concert link below.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of the Tuesday night "Bible Study Girlz" or Laurie Stone at alauris_s@yahoo.com

Our Congregational Care Team Needs YOU!
Did you know that Cornwall Church has an active Congregational Care Team?
So far, in 2018, we have provided over 42 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. 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.
