VISITOR CENTER

Picture
There is a new Visitor Center in the Church Lobby!!  Many thanks to Max Creager for his wonderful contribution to our church.  The Center is located beside the church library and under the large bulletin board.  Visitors will be encouraged to stop by the Visitor Center so we can get to know them better, give them a church brochure, a list of upcoming activities, and a small gift to take with them.  It is our hope that representatives from the Leadership Team, Deacon Body, and all Commissions will select volunteers to be at the Center at least one month out of the year.  The Center will be open every Sunday morning immediately following worship service for approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on how many worshippers are present.   Women’s Ministry will be at the Center during the month of April.  We want to make our visitors feel as welcomed as possible and this will take a total church effort.  Just remember, “and they will know us by our love, by our love, and they will know that we are Christians by our love.”   Thanks to all!

CHURCH LADIES' TEA


On a beautiful warm day, Spring was in the air and one might have thought there was an Easter Parade going on in our church.  Hats of all sizes, shapes and colors adorned the heads of excited ladies. Oh, what a difference a "hat" makes!  These ladies participated in our first-ever Church Ladies' Tea held in the Fellowship Hall, Saturday, April 14th.
The hall looked absolutely wonderful complete with three tables of hats from which to choose. The hall was accented with pots of greenery and classical music could be heard in the background.  There were 12  beautifully decorated tables complete with fine china, crystal, and lovely teapots.  Each table represented a month of the year and was decorated accordingly.  A
​hostess was assigned to each table and each was dressed, complete with hat, according to their table's month. 
  Serving the tea and water were four male servers dressed in white tuxedo shirts, black bowties and black suspenders.  Looking absolutely dashing, each server wore a white butler cloth over their arm as they each attended three tables. The Tea Committee did an outstanding job preparing all the food! The savories and the sweets were absolutely delicious!  In the kitchen, neatly dressed in aprons, head tea-maker Harold Mumma and sidekick, Mark Divelbiss kept the servers supplied with plenty of brewed tea.
  The Tea Committee, headed by Sue Bock, consisted of June Mumma, Ann Miller, Susan McBride, and Carolyn Poffenberger. 
  The 12 table hostesses were Jean Berklite, Angie Baker, Carolyn Carson, Sue Bock, Sandy Koziel, Marty Angle, Barb Wolff, Ann Miller, June Mumma, Carolyn Poffenberger, Lorie Kennell, and Susan McBride.
  The servers were Pastor John, Joel Weber, Shade Naugle and Rich Stainbrook.   An event like this took a lot of detailed planning and work; but was certainly worth it as the event was well attended and the committee received many compliments afterwards.  Many thanks to all!
​The Women's Ministry plans to sponsor a Mother-Daughter Banquet next Spring; and will be just one of many activities planned for 2019.

An Open House was held on March 19, 2017.  Click here for more photos.

Sunday Council Meeting

Our yearly Council Meeting was held Sunday, April 22 in the church Fellowship Hall and was well attended.  The Youth served everyone a wonderful spaghetti  and dessert lunch.  A large turn-out was on hand to hear the various reports from the different commissions of the church. The last report was given by Pastor John in which he thanked the church for their love and support this past year.  He also announced that, regrettably, our  Choir Director, Patti Divelbiss, will not be renewing her contract as she feels it is time to take a needed rest.  The meeting was adjourned following prayer by Pastor John.
