What's Happening In The Church
Heart & Hand Trip to WV
June 21st to 26th, a team of 7 volunteers are still planning to leave for Barbour County, WV for the week. Would you like to join us? Please contact Tanya Voris at tanyarv@comcast.net for details. It is a week that could change your life! The associated costs are high for such an undertaking, so please give generously to the Mission. Also, please keep those that we will serve in your prayers as well as those that are volunteering. Thank you.
As most of you know, each year we have a team that travels to West Virginia in June on a mission trip. This year has been challenging, to say the least, and without being able to be in church, donations have been minimal and fundraisers that were planned had to be cancelled or never put in place. Because of the added challenges they are facing, there is only a small group going this year. Their current funds are about $4,350. It is dependent on how much is raised which will determine how much work can be done. The current costs are as follows: $3,160 – subflooring, $2,200 – walls $3,800 – roof trusses and decking. There are also costs to the church they stay in, Heart and Hand, trailer rental, food, gas and tolls of approx. $1,200 - $1,500. They still hope to meet the family’s needs and that gives them the drive to do the Lord’s work. Therefore, we are asking you to participate in the 100 Envelope Challenge. You can contact Tanya Voris to choose a number from 1 to 100. Once you get your number, put your check for that amount in an envelope and send it to the church marked Heart & Hand Mission Trip. Any donations should not be in place of your general giving. 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!
James Brimmer on behalf of the Finance Committee
It is imperative that donations that you may have planned or hoped to give to the General Fund are not instead directed to the Heart and Hand mission trip. The 2020 General Fund budget projected that expenses would be higher than donations, but we felt we had enough reserve funds to cover the short fall. Never did we project the impact that the virus would have on all of us. Please hold both the needs of our annual church budget as well as the Heart and Hand mission trip in your prayers.

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.

Also need people to join our praise team singing or playing an instrument. Need not sing/play every week. Contact Chelsey for more information.
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.
