Past & Present Luncheon Program
Here it is, September and we are all wondering, "Where did the summer go?" Another thing that some may be wondering is whether there is a Past & Present Luncheon soon, and if so, when? The answer is YES and the luncheon is Friday, September 20th---as always the program will be at 11:00 and the lunch at noon. Our program,
"Navajos: Living Between Two Worlds"
and presented by Dean Pompa and Connie Andrejko, will allow us to journey, by way of photos and talk, with our youth on their amazing summer trip to the southwest. We are all looking forward to it and hope to see you there. Bring a friend. R.S.V.P. to Pam Bayliss at 610-798-7671 or Sarah Norwine at 484-239-5415 [note number change as she is in N. Caroline BUT is flying in to mastermind our menu!!

Ushers needed for both 8 AM and 10 AM services.
If you would like to become more involved in Sunday’s services, consider becoming an Usher. Ushers are usually the first friendly face people see when entering the church for worship. This ministry is open to all people of all ages. Kilts are, of course, optional. If interested, please contact either Chip Montgomery or the church office.
