HUB Needs Health (Hygiene) Kits For Disaster Relief
We are sorry, that so soon after our school kit drive, to have to come to you again and ask for more help BUT disasters have their own timetable and it is hurricane season. We have all heard of the devastation that Hurricane Dorian had on the Bahamas and the widespread flooding from Hurricane Humberto across our southern states. For the month of October we will be collecting items to complete Health (Hygiene) Kits. Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster. (You can donate one item, multiples of one item, mix of several items, or a complete kit.) Look for the collection basket in the foyer near the elevator. Donations will be taken to our local HUB in Lebanon. Monetary donations are also accepted to purchase items to complete kits. Place money or check (made out to Cornwall UMC) in an envelope marked HUB and place it in the offering plate; please include your name. Have
questions? Call Patti Pasquale (717-866-0379) or Sue Brimmer (717-273-6224).
Your donation helps us respond quickly to immediate disaster and long-term recovery needs.

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.

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.
