Annual Outdoor Community Wide Craft & Yard Sale on Saturday May 24th from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM (RAIN or SHINE)

We have Yard Sale spaces for rent that are 20’x 20’ in the grass for $20. Pre-registration to rent a space is required, with payment due the day of the event (by check or cash only). You may register online or contact 717-696-5321 to register for a space.

No sales of homemade food/drink allowed, as we will be selling hotdogs, drinks, chips and desserts and also need to be careful of food service regulations.

FOR OUR MEMBERS: VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! Please see the sign-up sheet in the hall to help the day of the event or to donate deserts. Donation of gently used items (no clothing) can be brought to the purple Sunday School room across from the Youth room to be sold by the youth to support their upcoming events. Donation of books, and puzzles can be dropped off in the 2nd Sunday school room.

Faith UMC has certificates from S. Clyde Weaver available for sale for $7.00 each. Pick up a delicious made-to-order sub at any of their locations when you don’t feel like cooking or need a lunch for work! You have a choice of at least 7 varieties of sandwiches available on a sub roll, bread or wrap. Please see Carol Kennedy in the office to purchase your certificates. These certificates are so convenient when you need a quick meal during this busy holiday season and they make great stocking stuffers.

For children age 3 years (who are potty-trained) through 4th grade. We are using Deep Blue One Room Sunday School curriculum. Children will be given the opportunity to bring an offering at the beginning of Junior Church that they can place in a “piggy bank.” Parents, please sign your child in before the Worship Service. Each child and parent will be assigned a badge with a matching number. Children will begin the service in the sanctuary and be dismissed to Junior Church after the Children’s Time Message. Junior Church takes place in the Elementary Classroom in the Education Wing during Worship (3rd classroom in the Education Wing hallway). After worship, parents are asked to sign children out at a station directly outside the classroom—and are asked to wait outside the class until their child is brought to them.

What does Servant Saturday mean? From small tasks to large, we ask everyone to give extra to the world around them that day. As Christians, we are to give of our time, talents, treasures and service continually. But sometimes we get entangled with the world around us and the giving falls to the background. We are asking everyone to give of themselves consciously on Servant Saturday. This is usually the first Saturday of the month. Here is a list of ideas for serving!

Maybe you can give of your time, even a few hours, to volunteer at a local animal shelter. Or, it could be, using your talents to help build a home with Impact Ministries or Habitat for Humanity. Perhaps you dig into your wallet to donate money for a shelter for abused women and youth or a pre-school in South Africa. You may find that spending time in prayer for others or fasting is the best use of your talents. There are many ways to help the world in which we live--locally or globally.
