Caroling
We have two opportunities to do some Christmas Caroling, and we hope you will join us to help bring our friends and neighbors Christmas spirit and cheer. Everyone is invited to attend, so please invite friends/family/neighbors to come out and sing with us.
December 6 - Edgewood Light Up Night.
December 11 - We are still solidifying our route to include homebound members/friends. Starting time: 6:30PM. Details coming soon. Questions: Angel Lehrian
Shady Side Academy Food Pantry Donation
Our annual donation to our food pantry and WCM from Shady Side Academy 2nd graders and their teachers was again a HUGE success with over 1,300 canned goods/items. The bus load arrived Friday morning, Nov. 21 and the students/teachers started their routine of unloading their bus and loading our shelves. Deacon Rick Masten then talked with them and explained how their generosity will help so many people who are in need. Their collection will be divided between our food pantry and WCM. In addition to our food pantry, we have set up “Our Little Pantry” at entrances to the church for those who might be in need of food. We invite anyone to take what they need or give any extra they have. We hope making the food pantry more accessible to those who use our building throughout the week will help us live out our mission better—to love our neighbors well.

Who are the Deacons?
The ministry of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress. Persons of spiritual character, honest repute, exemplary lives, brotherly and sisterly love, sincere compassion, and sound judgment should be chosen for this ministry. –Book of Order, G-2.0201
Small but Mighty! What a group of dedicated caring individuals on our Deacon team! We are all delighted to be in person and ready to serve the church, the people and Christ! Many of us are learning, so we welcome everyone’s help and advice along the way.
We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our tradition of the Strawberry Festival this year (June 21st tentatively) and have plenty of ideas for freshening up the event. Please let me know if you’d like to be involved in the planning process - all are welcome.
Our March Deacon’s meeting is Sunday March 26th after church, we hope all the Church Deacon’s are able to attend. If anyone needs to do a remote meeting, please reach out and we will make that work.
On behalf of all the Deacon’s we are excited to serve.
