Some people have asked for more than just the words on the screen to the newer songs we are singing in worship. There will be music available at the Information Desk for some of the songs we will be singing each morning.  Please stop by the desk on your way into worship and pick up the music.  We will be doing this on a trial basis.  Also, in order to make good use of resources, please return the music to the Information Desk after worship.

East Fairview is helping out flood victims in Manheim with the remaining tithe funds from the WOW Campaign. There is a great need appliances to replace ones damaged by high waters. We have about $12,500 to spend on new appliances. We have also "adopted" a local family who lived on Wolf St. to help.

Several people here have already stepped up to provide housing and meet other for them. If you would like to contribute money to help with this recovery project, please mark you offerings "flood" and we will use the money to help the most people possible.

The WOW campaign still has about $12,500 in tithe money to be used.We are spending that money at Longenecker's, they will give us contractor pricing on appliances purchased at their store.This is a nice amount of money to spend, if anyone would like to add to it, please mark it for "Flood" and we will see that the money gets spent in Manheim to help this one particular family and then others in Manheim in need of appliances and other durable goods

East Fairview Church is seeking a FAMILY MINISTRIES COORDINATOR.

COULD IT BE YOU?

 

The sentiment was quite strong in the Congregational Meeting that someone from our own church family would certainly know us best and could see both our needs and strengths.

A job description is available at the Hospitality Desk. Read it and PRAY. Then, LISTEN; perhaps God is speaking to YOU.

If you have discerned that calling, please contact any member of the Discipleship Team or Pastor Jimm. We will not post this position outside our extended church family just yet. If you KNOW someone that may be interested, please feel free to contact the Discipleship Team and we will make contact with them at the appropriate time.

 

Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
The Discipleship Team

Please help to ring the bells!

We will be ringing the Salvation Army Bells at Longenecker’s Hardware Store on Friday, December 9th and Tuesday, December 13th from 10:00am - 7:00pm. There is a sign up sheet at the Welcome Desk for those interested in ringing.
