Dr. Dilip Abayasekara, and Rev. Dr. John Smith. At Coffee Fellowship we will have a special cake to appreciate their service to us.
Based on a survey taken at the conclusion of the Lenten Bible Studies, we will offer the following three studies for you to choose from. The eight Wednesday evenings will begin with Supper Fellowship all together from 5:00-6:15 p.m. The group studies will conclude at 7:30 p.m. We hope you will consider attending these Wednesday evening seminars in October and November. As a disciple of Jesus, give your spiritual life a boost. Look for sign Up sheets located on the tables outside the Sanctuary and inside the Fellowship Hall. Indicate which study group you would like to attend. If you have any questions about these discipleship opportunities, please contact the leader of the group or Pauline Peifer, Discipleship Coordinator.Group #1 - How to Study the Bible - led by Jan Ocamb; Group #2 - Membership/Baptism Class - taught by Pastor Arun Andrews; Group #3 - Experiencing Hope in the Midst of Life’s Challenges - led by Pauline Peifer

As in previous years, we are incorporating a hybrid model whereby you can pack a shoebox or send a check to Trinity Church on Bridge. If sending a check, please note in memo “Operation Christmas Child”. The box and the lid are to be wrapped separately. On the display table you will find a flyer to indicate the gender and the age of the child that you choose. This should be affixed to the lid of the box. There are further guidelines as to what to pack and what not to pack on the website for Operation Christmas Child. Each shoebox prayerfully packed full of fun gifts is an opportunity for the Gospel to transform the life of a child, family or a community. The shoe boxes are distributed to children around the world. For some children, it is the first time that they have received a gift and some go on to participate in follow up discipleship program, the Greatest Journey. Thank you for your kind help. If there are any questions, please get in touch with Jane and Rick Bittner or Patricia Stacey.
Weather permitting. If that date/time does not work for you and you want to walk with a partner(s) at another time, so as not to duplicate houses, please contact Sharon Sheffer 717-774-3137 ( ) for where to Pray & Go. Once you walk, please e-mail Sharon Sheffer with street and house numbers you covered.
