The Dunk Tank will be present again. And of course it just wouldn’t be complete without a water balloon fight to end the evening! There is a sign up sheet available at the Welcome Desk. If you plan to attend, please sign up so that we know how much chicken BBQ to order. Last names beginning with A-M are asked to bring a dessert, and N-Z are asked to bring a hot or cold side dish.

Pamphlets and camp schedules for United Zion Camp are available at the Welcome Desk. Please pick one up if you are interested.

On Sunday, August 7th, East Fairview will again be traveling to New York City to provide a service and serve a meal to the homeless at the Bowery Mission. last two years the entire church van was filled and it would be great to fill it up again this year!! This is an excellent way to actively live out Jesus' challenge to us in Matthew 25 "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." will leave from the Church after Sunday School (12:00) and return around 11pm. will stop for meals on the way and, if time allows, tour New York for a brief period of time before the service. , we can tour the Outreach Center to get a greater insight into the Bowery's mission. is encouraged to join us for this afternoon of fellowship while commuting (I understand the back of the van was a bit bouncy last year - so we may go a bit slower this year), serving Jesus and supporting those who attend and provide the service!! my experience everyone who has attended and assisted in the serving the food or providing the service has been challenged in their Faith. NOW TO JOIN US!! Scott Moyer at 203 0458 or scott.a.moyer@us.pwc.com with questions or comments.
Just a reminder...if you are in need of visitation during Pastor Jimm’s sabbatical, please contact the church office at 665-4873 or Barb Earhart at 665-5941 (home) or 344-9454 (cell). Also, if you would like to make an addition or change to the purple prayer sheet, please contact Nancy Auker.
