September 22 Worship Service
We invite you
to worship with us!
-
PARKING - A small parking lot is located next to the church and can be accessed from River Street, which runs behind the church building. Ample on-street parking can also be found on East Main Street and Dock Street.
-
ENTERING THE CHURCH - You may use either entrance doors on the front of the building. Once inside, you will find a friendly greeter who will direct you to the Sanctuary, which is located on Level Two (or the Chapel on Level One if our service is being held there). If you need the elevator, they will assist you. Restrooms are located on the Ground Level.
-
ENTERING THE SANCTUARY - An usher will give you a worship bulletin to guide you through the service. Children's activity bags are also available. Offering plates are located on a stand inside each Sanctuary entrance (or just outside the Chapel).
-
DURING THE SERVICE - Please be mindful that the service is being recorded for those who are viewing online. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the elements (bread and wine/juice) will be distributed by the ushers. The Mite Family Room is available in the rear of the Sanctuary for those who have difficulty sitting for longer periods of time.
-
LEAVING THE SANCTUARY - At the end of the service, you may spend a few moments in prayerful reflection during the postlude music or exit using either of the stairwells. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you.
A NOTE FROM THE
CONSISTORY PRESIDENT
October 2024
September was a busy month as we said goodbye to Pastor Kevin, resumed Sunday School and choirs on alternating Sundays, and held another very successful Gift & Basket Raffle on Borough Day. The copper gutter and cornice replacement was also completed.
God led Pastor Kevin to us at a time when we needed his healing, compassion, and humor! We wish him well in his ministry at Belleman's Church.
As we move into this time of transition, we are blessed to have Rev. Mark Dewald, a Son of Saint John's Church, leading our worship services on the first and third Sundays of each month. Our Search & Call Team has met several times and has completed our church profile. This will now be combined with the church profile from Saint Mark's to form a total pastoral search package and will then be submitted to PSEConference. We are hopeful to have this process completed by Thanksgiving.
October will be another busy month. We will celebrate World Communion on October 06. The Clothing Corner Fall Giveaway will be held on October 12. Harvest Home will be the focus of worship on October 13 with a special collection for the Food Pantry. On October 27, we will commemorate the 507th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation.
I would encourage everyone to:
> continue attending worship regularly.
> contribute as you are able.
> participate in the life of the church.
See you in church,
Tim
