Trunk or Treat! Nursery School Sunday! Reformation Sunday! ALL IN ONE DAY!

THIS SUNDAY OCTOBER 26th!!!

TRUNK OR TREAT, NURSERY SCHOOL SUNDAY, REFORMATION SUNDAY!!!

Join us on October 26th for Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot following worship (weather permitting of course, if it's gross we'll be in Fellowship Hall), Nursery School Sunday and giving thanks for our amazing Weekday Nursery School families and staff, and Reformation Sunday!!!

This Sunday we also will be celebrating our Nursery School kids, families, and staff to give thanks for their ministries with some song, some fun, and some sharing of the life, love and joy of Jesus with all!

Get your candy, find your costumes, wear you Reformation red or your costumes, decorate your cars, most importantly be ready to join in a day of celebration and sharing the life, love, and joy of Jesus Christ with all! 

PLUS - THERE'S GONNA BE CANDY!!!

***If you plan on decorating your car or handing out candy we ask that you please use the back of the church parking lot and if you plan on just attending worship and getting candy to please park in the front of the parking lot. Also, if you plan on setting up your car it is perfectly acceptable to walk out during the sermon if you need to (it's a great way of getting out of listening to a boring sermon and the Pastor will even bring you Communion out in the parking lot if you'd like!).***

Sunday School and Confirmation and Trunk or Treat!!!

Sunday School is back!!!

Sunday School is back this week and our kiddos can join Ms. Lisa in the back of the sanctuary following the announcements for Sunday School and Confirmation Class will be starting up as soon as Pastor gets back from vacation. Families will be sent an email with the schedule for the year and there is already a homework assignment! If you don't know what it is then you missed worship last week...

We are looking for volunteers to help teach. Sunday School runs from right after the Children's message until the start of Communion (unless they're doing something super fun). We are hoping to get 3-6 additional volunteers so that we can schedule everyone for leading Sunday School no more than once a month. If you might be interested please or if you have a kiddo to participate in Sunday School but you might have a question or three, please contact Pastor Suloff or Lisa in the Church Office.

Oh yeah, and just for fun, Trunk or Treat is October 26th so mark your calendars!

Sunday School and Confirmation Class

Sunday School and Confirmation Class NEXT SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28!

If you have a little kid (ages 3 through whatever) that is interested in Sunday School just let us know. Older kids tend to become "helpers" with the younger kids. We are hoping to begin in the end of September but to do that we need a little help! We are looking for volunteers to help teach. Sunday School runs from right after the Children's message until the start of Communion (unless they're doing something super fun). We are hoping to get 3-6 additional volunteers so that we can schedule everyone for leading Sunday School no more than once a month. If you might be interested please or if you have a kiddo to participate in Sunday School but you might have a question or three, please contact Pastor Suloff or Lisa in the Church Office.

Also, Confirmation Class will be starting at the end of September! Confirmation Class is really Affirmation of Baptism, ultimately learning about, and considering, our faith and what we think and believe. Confirmation Class is typically done in 7th and 8th grade. If you care interested in having your child participate in Confirmation Class, or have questions, please contact Pastor Suloff.

Oh yeah, and just for fun, Trunk or Treat is October 26th so mark your calendars!

So, we are inviting you to join us.  If you enjoy creating-whether it's painting, sewing, writing, crafting, crocheting, knitting or any other expression of creativity-we invite you to prayerfully consider making and donating something from your heart.  Your gift, no matter how big or small, can bring light and joy to someone walking a difficult journey.  You are welcome to create as many items as you like—it can be 1 or more.  The deadline to gather all donations will be announced at a later date.  

If you'd like to participate or have any questions, please contact Joann Kirschenmann

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

From Laurie Suarez:  "A student of mine was diagnosed with cancer half way through his 3rd grade year in January 2024 and I picked up a prayer shawl from church and sent it home with his brother to give to him….  I'm happy to report he successfully completed all of his treatments and is in remission now.  He was able to return to school last fall and completed his fourth grade year without any additional health incidents.  This touched me personally and made me want to join the prayer shawl ministry to contribute in some way to this very special group! I am not at the level to be crocheting prayer shawls yet but am grateful that the coffee cozies I am able to make at home are able to be distributed and enjoyed by patients staying at Hope Lodge."

Do you have a story to share about gifting a prayer shawl to someone? We’d love to hear it!

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

The Power of a Prayer Shawl

Last week I was informed that a family friend (Roy) had emergency surgery for a brain tumor.  His daughter and son were planning to go to the hospital in Pittsburgh that weekend to visit him.  I stopped at church that day and picked out a prayer shawl and dropped it off at his daughter’s house to take with them and gift to their father.  At their visit, she sent me a photo of her father with the shawl draped over him and the biggest smile on his face.  What a sight!  I was certain gifting the shawl was well received.  Then, a couple of days later, I received a voice message on Messenger from Roy.  It was an emotional message thanking me for the shawl, saying it was “an inspiration all day and makes me feel wonderful.”  Roy has some very difficult days ahead of him in treating this aggressive cancer, but I have no doubt the shawl provides him a  spiritual connectedness to God and those who are praying for him, and will be a powerful part of his treatment.

Do you have a story to share about gifting a prayer shawl to someone?  We’d love to hear it!

Hope Lodge Dinner - August 6th

Hope Lodge Dinner - Wednesday, August 6th

We will once again be making dinner for Hope Lodge this coming Wednesday and we need volunteers! Hope Lodge is a place for folks to stay when they need to travel into the Philadelphia area for cancer treatments because we are blessed with many great hospitals in this area and our role is to help the folks staying there feel at home. Join us either on August 6th or in spirit by making something ahead of time. A SignUp Genius link can be found using the link below and if you have any questions please email Matt Clark.

From Matt Clark,

A few things. We are asking for the main course that people make trays of stuffed shells. We will bake the shells at the Hope Lodge but ask that the prep be done prior. I will put trays with lids in the Narthex for people to use. 

If anyone needs to drop anything off, I will do collection in the church parking lot on Monday, August 4, 2025. I have to be at another Hope Lodge Dinner on the 5th.   

Thank you again for all of your help at the Hope Lodge. 

All the best, Matt
