SCHUYLKILL ASSOCIATION Annual Fall meeting will be held here on October 17th. Registration begins at 2:30 PM.

PRAYER CIRCLE
gathers on the first and third Wednesdays every month at 5:30 PM (except during Lent).  While learning contemplative prayer practices, we also pray for individual, congregational, and community needs. 

WEIGHT WATCHERS
meets each Thursday at 6:30 PM.

THE FOOD PANTRY thanks you for all the food and money donated. Because of rising unemployment, the need is definitely increasing unfortunately. Food items (except soup) and paper products are always needed to replenish the shelves.  Please deposit your items in the box by the coat racks or see Vicki or Cindy.

TEAM UPDATES

MEMBERSHIP & VISITATION
In recent months the M & V Team has been visiting some of our shut ins , friends and members. We hope to continue our outreach to those in our church family that  we were unable to connect with this year.  M & V Team- Marcia Lindenmuth, Don Mengle, Willie Kleckner & Pastor Wanda

CHRISTIAN ED/SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Sunday School team wants to provide a library of books & videos with wholesome content for all to share. If you have any items to donate for this project, please see Deb Steffe.

WORSHIP & MUSIC
Contemporary Praise music will be added to worship services beginning this fall. The choir will be practicing in order to lead the congregation in song.

Also, we are forming a small band of young adults to help with an August service (and maybe beyond). If you play an instrument and would like to share your talent, give the office a call.

The Worship and Music Team is offering anthem sponsorship.  The cost is $20 to purchase an anthem in memory or in honor of a loved one.  Please see Debbie Hoy if you are interested.

LEGAL TEAM
The new constitution is nearly completed. Once the Board weighs in with their comments, it is then sent to the conference & synod for thier approval. The last step is bringing it before the congregation for a vote on its adoption.

Every year, ZRC gathers CHRISTMAS GIFTS for the families who use the pantry. If you would like to buy gifts, see Vicki Oswald who will give you a card with all the information on it. The limit to spend is around $30.00.
