September

11th - Hope Community (7974 Claussville Rd) Fogelsville 2:30 p.m.
Dedication services for the new church facility at Hope Community, Fogelsville, PA. The "main service" will be in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m. with Bishop Michael Sigman as speaker. The service is scheduled in the afternoon in order to permit visitors from EC and possibly other neighboring congregations to participate in this important day. The regular morning service at 10:00 will emphasize appreciation to the Lord for what He has done for us, and for the many volunteers within the congregation who donated so much energy and volunteer labor in order to save significant financial costs. A luncheon will follow the morning worship time, and an "Open House" will both precede and follow the afternoon Dedication Service.

The unique thing about the church facility dedication, is that it is the first newly established congregation on what used to be called the Eastern District of the Eastern Conference of the EC Church to build a new church facility since Crestwood Village, NJ, about 1975. The last new congregation to do so before that was Boulevard EC, in Allentown, PA, which was built in 1929.

Thanksgiving Eve Praise Band

The thought of getting together for a time of praise on Thanksgiving Eve was mentioned this past Saturday. Some places already have something traditionally planned . Might anyone be interested? Seems like a good idea? Leave a comment if you would.
