Holly Place opened in 1988. It is licensed by DHMH and operated by a non-profit corporation formed to develop supervised housing for low-income seniors for whom neither independent living nor nursing home placement is appropriate. Largely due to donations from people like you, Holly Place has given refuge and a home to nearly 200 people. The Presbyterian Women will collect a featured item needed at Holly Place each month. This month, Dryer sheets is the featured item. Please place the dryer sheets in the tub marked Holly Place. The tub is under the counter in the parlor. The PW will continue to collect any donations for Holly Place. Thank you for supporting this local mission.

For more than 25 years Samaritan’s Purse has collected shoeboxes filled with gifts and delivered them to children in need around the world.  Each box is an opportunity for a boy and girl to experience the love of God in a tangible way and to hear the Gospel.

Many boys and girls who receive shoebox gifts enroll in the Samaritan’s Purse discipleship program, “The Greatest Journey,” where they learn to follow Christ and share Him with others. It all starts with a simple gift.  Will you prayerfully consider joining us in this exciting ministry?

Shoeboxes will be placed in the parlor for you to pick up and fill.  You will also receive a brochure to help guide you in filling the shoebox. Once the box is filled please return it to church.  We will arrange for it to be shipped to a processing center and then to needy children around the world.

Thank you for making a child happy this Christmas.

Our annual Christmas Bazaar is scheduled for Friday, November 11, 6:30 -8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.  There you will find a variety of handmade crafts, as well as lots of gift and thrift items for sale.  In the baked goods department, you’ll find tasty candies, cookies, and other baked goods, and our kitchen staff will make made-to-order food items for you to enjoy before, during, or after you shop.  Oh yes! And don’t forget to bring your camera along on Saturday to take pictures with Santa.

Dear Friends,

As we enter the Fall season, it is fair to say that these past two years have been a trial and tribulation for all of us.  It is important for us to live into and latch onto the promises of God.  For our next series of columns, let us take time to explore what God promised to us.  If you have a favorite promise, please let me know so that we can incorporate the promise that has touched you into our discussion in this column.

There are many chapters of the New Testament that are rich in promises.  The next one that we will look at is Romas 8.  Please take time to live into this chapter.  Read it and ponder it.  Let it speak to you.

 Thank you so much to the Fellowship Committee for providing such a wonderful lunch to enjoy at our Back To School Picnic.  We had Guessing Jars, outside activities and BINGO!  It was a wonderful day of fun activities.  Most of all, thank you to all who came to show support and prayer for all the returning students and teachers as they head off for a new school year.  Each returning student and teacher shared where they would be attending this upcoming school year.  We surrounded the students and teachers with a prayer led by Pastor Mark.
