Dear Faith Family and Friends,

I'd like to thank all of you for your love and support, prayers, emails, cards, and notes, and most of all, your patience, as I continue to recover from recent surgery. I hope to build up more energy with each passing day, and will continue to catch up for lost time and do all I can to keep things running smoothly. Thanks again to all of you.

Sandy

Click here for a list of birthdays and addresses. Some phone numbers are also included if you'd like to give a call! Also included on the list are names, addresses, and phone numbers of members who usually attend services but don't get to see the recorded services on a regular basis. Feel free to reach out to them and say hello or fill them in on the weekly news!

Coming Soon: Listen to Our Services on Your Phone!

Within a few weeks we will be offering another way you can participate in our weekly worship services. Simply call the church on a special phone number and you can listen to the service. To make it even more simple we can set things up so that you will receive the phone call from our system. It will take a few weeks to set this all up but I wanted you to know of this new service as soon as possible. Some of you don’t have computers or smart phones. Some of you do have computers or a smart phone and just don’t like to be bothered with navigating the internet. However, we ALL have telephones and we ALL know how to dial them! If you would like us to set this up so that you receive a phone call on Sunday at 10:15 indicating that the service is ready for you to listen please let me know. This is just one more way for us to remain connected.

Updated info for Betty Lou's Pantry:

Betty Lou's Pantry, the local food pantry serving the Southern Lehigh area, is very low on certain items due to the cancellation of the annual post office food drive as well as multiple small collections that are done by local businesses, sports teams, schools and more.

All are invited to bring food donations to the pantry on Wednesday mornings between 9 and 10 am. Please remain in your car, drive up around the perimeter of the parking lot and stop at the tents outside the pantry. Volunteers will take bags from your trunk or back seat to minimize contact.

At this time, the pantry is most in need of the following items:

· Hearty Soups with Meat

· Boxed Pasta (not spaghetti)

· Canned Pasta in Sauce (Chef Boy-R-Dee Ravioli type items)

· Meat Helpers (Chicken, Meat and Tuna helpers)

A Special THANK YOU to all who continue to financially support our ministry as you are able. Through these uncertain times our financial obligations continue and our regular bills are still coming in. Again we'd like to remind you there are several ways you can do this:
