SUMMER SPECIAL MUSIC: A sheet to sign-up for special music during July and August is on a music stand in the hallway by the choir room. You have only eleven services in which to glorify God with your gifts. Solos, duets or small groups of singers, dancers or instrumentalists are welcome. Please have music to Kelly no later than two weeks before the service in which you are performing.

The Church is looking for a new FINANCIAL secretary. This is a volunteer position that takes about ½ hr. per week inputting offering information and attending Finance committee meetings 4 times a year. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Connie Thompson, Finance Chairperson or Gerry Hoffman, Finance, Co-Chair.

ANOTHER THOUGHT: At age 12, Robert Louis Stevenson was looking into the dark from his upstairs window watching a man light the street lamps. Stevenson's governess came into the room and asked what he was doing. He replied, "I am watching a man cut holes in the darkness." I see this as a marvelous picture of what our task should be as sharers of God's light - people who are busy cutting holes in the spiritual darkness of our world.

ATTENTION KENNIE'S SHOPPERS!  If you are a frequent shopper at any Kennie's Market location and you'd be willing to designate Big Brothers Big Sisters of Adams County for the Community Treasures program, please contact Laura Geesaman at 334-1138 or landt@pa.net

Thank you to my church family for your thoughts, prayers and cards during my illness and recovery. I appreciate them all and look forward to seeing everybody each week. Betty Overman

Regular and large print Bibles are available at the back of the church for your use. We invite you to use one to follow along in the reading of today's scripture.

PEW ENVELOPES! You may have noticed the pew envelopes and on top of the mission can. These envelopes are to be used for donations to the church that are not covered by your regular envelopes. Some examples are mission can donations, special collections, special service offerings, etc. If the envelopes are used, we will be able to add that record to your giving statement. Please be sure to put your envelope number and/or name on the envelope so we know to which account it should be recorded. If you have any questions, please see Fred Myers or Connie Thompson.

Tape Ministry - Our members in nursing homes and those unable to get to church and now able to hear our Sunday services and feel a part of the church congregation. If you know of a shut-in and would like to take a tape to them, please call Ed and Charlotte Moore @ 334-1716. We owe David Schmidt a debt of gratitude for helping us in recording these tapes.
