Coffee set up for the Link in 2018
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.

​The second Sunday of each month is Noisy Offering for Camp Sunday. 
​Kid's choir will sing and then pass around cans to dump your change. All monies will go towards camp. Last year we collected enough to help send one kid to camp who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend. Go to the bank and get a roll of nickles, dimes or quarters. We want to make lots of noise in those cans!
