Jason King, son of Rich & Yvonne King; Colin Krieg, son of Richard

DAY OF PENTECOST
[READ ACTS 2:1-21]
Did you ever think of the thoughts that must have been going through Peter’s mind on the evening
of the first Pentecost?
Maybe he was thinking: “Did this day really happen? Did I really preach with such enthusiasm to all
those people? Timid me?” Not long ago I didn’t have the courage even to admit I was a companion
of Jesus!
The Holy Spirit IS present in our world today. Each one of us is touched by the Spirit’s gifts! If we
respond to the Holy Spirit, incredible things can happen!
Peter and the apostles were inspired to go forth and proclaim the Good News. That same Holy Spirit
continues to be present in our lives today. All we need to do is look around us. It is the presence of
the Spirit that enables us to use our talents and abilities to serve others. If we listen to the Spirit, all
things shall become an adventure, shall be full of light; and strength will be given to use beyond our
imagination provided we are open to the wind and the fire.
Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit upon us, and he will be faithful to the promise.
PENTECOST STILL HAPPENS!

PA DUTCH DINNER!
Saturday, September 19
We all missed not having the PA Dutch Dinner last year. This dinner is always a fun evening with good
food and great fellowship. The Fellowship Committee has started planning for this dinner to held on
Saturday, September 19. It requires lots of planning and preparation to feed and serve everyone.
The Committee is reaching out to all church members asking for your help in planning, preparing the
food, working in the kitchen, selling tickets, serving the food, and cleaning up afterwards.
It is a big undertaking to pull off this event. We have two serving settings. So, in order for
the workers to eat and enjoy the evening as well, we need to double some of the
positions. If you would like to help us in any way, please contact me at 484-201-3437 or
talk to anyone on the Fellowship Committee.
Thanks!

Adult Sunday School Opportunities:
Our Contemporary Christian Conversations class
explores a wide range of topics which focus on
the Christian’s responsibility in
daily living and in our society.
We are using Fearless Conversation Adult Sunday School
curriculum from Group. This is
a unique curriculum designed
to build relationships through authentic conversation. A fearless conversation is a healthy open
dialog that addresses “wondering” questions
about faith and God in a compassionate environment, using the Bible as our source to find the
truth. It’s all about sharing experiences openly
and embracing doubts and questions. As we
seek to understand others through active listening, we trust the Holy Spirit to guide our way as
we explore the question “Why is Jesus so
radical?” This class meets in the parlor. For our
final class on May 17, we will have a pot luck
breakfast and plan for the 2015-2016 program

July 27 - 31, 2015
5:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Your ongoing support for our fund raising efforts
is greatly appreciated. For our
final fundraiser, we will be offering
Kuhnsville Car Wash Certificates.
The cost is $10 per certificate and
our youth get to keep $5 for each
certificate sold!
(light supper at 5:30)
Volunteers are needed!
Please join our Everest Climbing Team! We
need Crew Leader Guides (Small Groups
Leaders) and Leaders for the following
stations: Imaginations Station, KidVid Cinema,
Glacier Games, Bible Expeditions, Preschool
Bible Adventures and Missions, Preschool
Games, Preschool KidVid Cinema, and
Preschool Craft and Play. We also need
photographers for our Spotlight VBS, registration helpers, kitchen helpers to prepare and
serve our light supper and people to help
decorate. Station leader descriptions and
volunteer sign-up sheets are posted on the CE
bulletin board by the church office.
During the month of June, we will be collecting
diapers for a Detroit Diaper Bank. For people
who are poor, the cost for diapers is out of
reach, and they too often have to choose between diapers and food. Please, place your diaper donations in the pack-and-play in the narthex. We will also be collecting non-perishable
packaged food items for Detroit community food
pantries. Place your donations in the plastic tub
in the narthex. Thank you for your donations.
On Sunday, July 12, we will have a special
sending service for our youth. After the service,
pins will be available with the initials of our
youth and chaperones. We are asking members of the congregation to pick up a pin and
pray for the youth/chaperones while we are in
Detroit.
Important VBS Dates:
July 25 9:00 a.m. volunteer meeting
July 25 10:00 a.m. small group planning &
decorating

SISTERS IN SPIRIT
THURSDAY, MAY 28 and THURSDAY, JUNE 25
12 P.M. ~ at Morgan’s Restaurant
Our March 26th meeting was to be a review of the book “The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet” by
Jamie Ford. Due to our intense candy making schedule, the majority of us had not read the book.
Thanks to Edie Moore, our resident story teller, with help from Sue Young and Betty Ehrets, we were
gifted with a wonderful review. We were also gifted with two new members, Hollie Diefer and Mary
Jane Berger who is Bernadette Reinert’s sister. They are now “card carrying” Sisters-In-Spirit.
April’s sharing topic was: ATTIC TREASURES. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Watch the bulletin for
May’s & June’s sharing topics.
At this reading we have not finished our financial statement for our candy sales this year. That report
will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Each year we become more efficient and our outreach
grows. At least four more church members became part of June Helfrich’s “Candy Making Team.”
Five men contributed greatly to our growing business.
There is no limit to Helping Hands from our Sisters-In-spirit members. Recently four of us collated the
Synod’s newsletter when they asked for help. Our entire premise is sharing and caring. You can
become a member of our group simply by joining us for lunch at Morgan’s Restaurant the last Thursday
of each month. The sign-up sheet and directions will appear on the bulletin board outside of Fellowship
Hall . If you need a ride call Beauty White-Hargis at 610-706-0330 or e-mail [email protected].
Bye for now ‘n God Bless!
