We gather in spirit and faith to lift up prayer on behalf of our church and others in need of prayer. Some pray aloud, others silently - either style is welcomed!  Join us.

Looking for some answers on how to be a parent who encourages your child's faith?

What practices increase a child's faith and how do we best encourage life-long faith in our children? The answer to these questions and more, as well as insights on the impact of today's culture are shared during our round-table discussions.

Attention everyone! The Packanack Clubhouse has been booked for Saturday, November 22, 2014, for our next Service Faire. What is a Service Faire? It's a fundraiser for our church in which we auction off goods and services for the community.

We would like as many people as possible to participate in the event. There are many ways in which you can contribute. You can help run the event by volunteering to be an auctioneer, a runner, a money handler, bringing baked goods, and many more jobs to fill. You can also donate a good or service to the auction. Maybe you can offer a trip to the airport, or to do some yard work for someone, or the use of a summer home that you could lend for the week. Maybe you have tickets to a sporting event or play that you could donate. These are just some of the ways in which you can donate your time and/or treasure to help us raise money for our church.

Please give prayerful consideration to how you can participate in this event. To volunteer and/or donate, contact Lauri Masur at [email protected] or Barb Bogert at [email protected].

Thank you for helping us make this event a success!

Each month, a group of volunteers is needed to assist the office staff with collating the Bell newsletter, stuffing the envelopes, and getting it in the mail. It's a great opportunity to do a little work for the church, make some new friends, and have some fun at the same time.

The next Bell Helpout Date is Tuesday, July 16, at 10:00am in Room 10.

If you can join us, please contact Kerry at [email protected] to let her know you are coming. Thank you for your assistance.
