Announced Last Week
It Mulch Time and We Need Help!
THIS Saturday, July 9, at 8 am. Please call Connie Wolfe at 610-285-6377 if you are able to help.
Sunday, July 10th
Pray Together Sunday kicks of the week leading up to Together  2016, a national campaign to bring 1 million people to the  National Mall for a day of worship and prayer on Saturday, July 16.

At the heart of Pray Together Sunday is the belief that Jesus  changes everything. He offers us a reset- restoring us to our  original design-and he can reset this generation. 
One More Time Around
The Alarm Code is Changing
We will be changing the alarm code for the doors August 1st. If you have a front door key and need the new code, please see Theresa in the office.
Help Me Help You
One of the more interesting parts of my job is seeing the variety of things that are left in my office. Unfortunately, many of those things do not come with notes telling me what to do with them. So, they sit there on the table staring at me. (Many times that is ok, but sometimes, like with the stuffed monkey, it freaks me out.)

Please help me help you. If you leave things in my office, please attach a note telling me who they are for or what to do with them and please don't leave any more stuffed monkeys. Thanks!
