Four Gospels & Eight Days - A Look at Holy Week

Our journey through Holy Week continues this Monday at Bible Study - Join Us!

What really happened Holy Week – from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday? Why does Matthew say this and John say that? Join Pastors Kendra and John Balliet as we open our Bibles, and we look at some of our commentaries and resources to put it all together.

Requirements: Someone who wants to learn and draw nearer to the Lord. This study is for everyone who is interested; no need to be a scholar! It is helpful to have a Bible and notepaper. Ask the questions you always wanted to know!

Choose Morning or Evening Times:

March 16, 23, & 30 - 6:00 PM at Harmonsburg UMC 

March 16, 23, & 30 – 10:30 AM at Stone UMC

A soup and sandwich meal will be served at both meeting times. Sign up on the Stone UMC Church Information Board by Miller Parlor or at the link below.

Time to Fill the Freezer!

Time to Fill the Freezer!

The Cupboards are BARE...

and the CARE team needs your help.  

We have had a number of individuals stop into our church office in the past few months in need of basic food items.  Many of them are seniors waiting to be added to our list for monthly senior food boxes and families with children in the household.  Please help the CARE team re-stock the freezer so that we have items to offer those who stop in needing a meal or to deliver as a pick-me-up to members facing difficult times.  Items can really be anything - as long as it freezes well- soups, muffins, cookies, casseroles.  They also have limited space for canned goods or shelf stable foods - think fruit, vegetables, pasta, spaghetti sauce, or kid-friendly items like macaroni and cheese cups or spaghetti-o's.

Children's Church

Volunteers Needed

We need more volunteers for Children's Church.I am attempting to make a schedule for rotating volunteers so one person doesn't have to be there every week.
I will still teach, but Safe Sanctuaries requires another person to be in attendance as well. You must have clearances as well as Safe Sanctuaries certification.
It only takes about 45 minutes on Sundays during church. You will help with snacks, crafts and anything else you would like.Although I lead the teaching, I am open to others always adding to the conversations with the children. 
If interested, please contact me at 814-337-6377 or grandmagjane@zoominternet.net.
Or, let the office know and I will contact you.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
