Trail Mix Donations for Camp

By

Each summer, Pastor Candy serves as a co-director of the “My Grown-Up & Me” camp at Pocono Plateau. One of our activities on the final night of camp is a Make-Your-Own Trail Mix station. Donations are needed to make this activity possible! Click here to view a list of requested items, or to sign up to donate. Financial donations are also welcome! All donations are due by Tuesday July 7. Thank you for making camp an even more special experience!

Summer Harvest Food Drive

By

This summer, we have the opportunity to help neighbors who are hungry or underresourced… by participating in the Summer Harvest Food Drive! Each week throughout the month of July, we will be collecting specific food and personal items. Summer Harvest volunteers will pick up these items and distribute them to local food pantries.

  • July 5: granola bars, shampoo & conditioner
  • July 12: peanut butter & jelly, toothpaste
  • July 19: applesauce, diapers & baby wipes
  • July 26: canned soups, laundry detergent

Please bring your donation items to church on the designated Sundays and place them in the marked containers. (Please check expiration dates before you drop them off!) For more information, contact the church office. 

Backpack Program: SNU Sorting

By

What’s SNU? It stands for “socks and underwear,” and it’s a key part of our annual “We Got Your Back” backpack outreach program! Each summer, when we distribute backpacks and school supplies, we also include packages of new socks and underwear. These items are back-to-school essentials just as much as backpacks and pencils!

Our Backpack Team will spend the next several weeks unpacking boxes, sorting supplies, and repackaging socks and underwear ahead of our annual event in August. From June 22 to July 27, join them on any Monday evening from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM to help in this effort. For more information, please contact our Backpack Team. 

Clothing Drive This Week

By

Clear out your dressers and closets to support our Backpack program! Our clothing drives typically take place on the first Sunday of each month after worship. The next drop-off will take place on Sunday June 7. On a clothing drop-off day, the Backpack Team will be available at our shed (outdoors, by Fellowship Hall) to collect your items and make sure they are bagged correctly. If you need to drop something off at another time, please contact us to arrange an appointment to drop your items off. Thank you!
