Hi All!

Praying you are faring well this winter. Please plan to keep warm during the upcoming cold snap!

Be sure to Celebrate Ground Hog Day on Feb. 2. Our own Donald Ritter is a main leader in the local Grundsaw Lodge. His wife Phyllis makes wonderful ground hog shaped cookies!

We still have NOT received our offering envelopes. Thank you so much for your patience.

Our offering statements for 2022 are prepared and are being given out to those in worship. They will be mailed in the next few days. If you have an issues with your statement, please call Brenda Seitz in the church office (610-966-3601), Monday through Thursday between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please leave a message if she doesn’t answer the phone and she will return your call.
