Congratulations to Becky Hite and Joan Hassler for being the first two (and only two) to respond to "Let's make this interesting...."

Wish I could treat you both to coffee and donuts in person but since I can't - look for a Dunkin Donuts gift card in the mail.

Dear Friends,

In an effort to work towards safely reopening our sanctuary, we have had REME HALO cells installed into our HVAC systems. These cells will:

Kill up to 99% of bacteria, mold and viruses
Reduce sneeze germs by 99% in the time a sneeze can reach three feet
Kill 99% of viruses on surfaces

COVID-19 has changed our lives and I know that you are eager to return to worshiping in our sanctuary again but we must do it safely. These cells are an important element in making sure that our building is safe. If you are willing to make a donation towards this project please make a check payable to the church and designate it CLEAN AIR!

Thank you for the many generous ways you support your church, its mission and ministry.

Peace,

Pastor Bruce

Be on the look out for a Scouting for Food bag THIS Saturday morning. The scouts will be back around to pick them up on November 14th.

More details about Scouting for Food and how you can help with Christmas Giftcards for the pantry families are in the November Focus on Faith.

All are invited to continue to bring food donations to the pantry on Wednesday mornings between 9 and 10 am.

Please come to the pantry entrance and call down over the railing that you have a donation and would like some assistance.

You may also drop your donations at the Southern Lehigh Library or Coopersburg and Center Valley Post Offices.

Thank you for your continued support!
