CIRCLE
The
Mission Circle will meet at 2:00PM on the 2nd Saturday of January, March, June,
September and November in 2009. Everyone is
welcome!
The
next meeting of the Mission Circle will be Saturday, November 14 at 2:00 PM.
At the
September meeting, the Mission Circle two more thank you's for mission work done
by those who attended the one week Bible School program this summer.
The Bible School program was led by circle and was blessed by help and
support from the members of the church.
Welcome
Home, a family shelter in Greensburg, sent a thank you for the items that were
donated. One evening during that week, a speaker from Welcome Home visited and
talked about their mission, the number and needs of the homeless in our very own
county. What an eye opener for all
those attending and helping with Bible School.
Children’s
Hospital also sent a thank you in care of Arts and Craft leader Jude Marinchak,
for the get well cards that were made by the children at Bible School.
The cards were sent to the hospital and given to patients to help them
with their social and emotional needs.
Many
times this past summer, the adults and older youth who helped with Bible School
talked about how we were blessed by the mission work done by the Bible School
children. They may have been small and very little but each one of them provided
their caring message to the community.

The
Mission Circle is purchasing Fair Trade coffee to use during our Sunday morning
coffee hour on a trial basis. A signup sheet will be available if anyone wishes
to purchase any of the coffees. More information will be available soon.
Purchasing Fair Trade coffee is a way of helping farmers in Latin America,
Africa and Asia earn a fairer share of income, thus helping them to build a
better future for themselves and their communities. The next meeting will be
Saturday, March 14th at 2:00 PM at the church. Everyone is invited!
