WELCOME BACK TO THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR!
|
During the month of October, the Women’s Guild, through the Sunday School, is sponsoring a project to collect needed items for “New Life for Girls which is a residential ministry for women with drug and alcohol related problems. Sunday School classes from the Crib Nursery through adult will be asked to review the “wish list” of needed items found in the October Communique and respond accordingly. Boxes will be in room 100 and the gallery to receive your donations. The deadline to donate is October 27.
A Service of Remembrance will be held on October 27. With grateful hearts, we will remember by name those members of our church who have died since last years’ service, on October 28, 2018. We also invite members of our congregation to give us the names of family who are not members of Shiloh UCC and have died during the last 12 months. Please call the church office by October 18 so their names may be included in the bulletin. Memorial gifts made during the past year will be dedicated. 
There is availability to host Coffee Connections. A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. All you have to do is provide treats (you can be reimbursed if you desire), brew coffee (coffee and makers are supplied by the church), set up and clean up. If you have any questions, please see Mark Miller. GROCERY GIFT CARDS = CONTRIBUTION TO CHURCH. Weis and Giant grocery gift cards are available for purchase in the Gallery. For every dollar of gift cards purchased, $.05 is donated to the church by the grocery store. This contribution is used to support our Missionaries, Sally Jane and Crosby Johnson in Costa Rica. 
The Youth Fellowship will host their annual Trunk and Treat on Sunday October 20 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm in the church parking lot. Please consider bringing your "trunk" and some treats to hand out to the children. There will be games, crafts and snacks inside. All children up to age 10 are welcome to come for treats and activities. Hope to see you there!

Anyone wanting their sandwich on bread (instead of pretzel roll), please note "on bread" when placing your order. Please support our church fundraiser! 
Peanut Butter and Jelly Pantry
Each weekend, York Giving Helping Hands distribute approximately 200 sandwiches to those in need. We’d like to establish a Peanut Butter and Jelly Pantry to collect peanut butter, jelly and fold over sandwich bags. We can purchase bread, assemble sandwiches and deliver for distribution. A 40-ounce jar of peanut butter will make 50 sandwiches. We will put a bin/box in the gallery to collect any contributions. Thank you for supporting this outreach ministry! 
The Women’s Social and Support Group (WSSG) will meet for lunch at the Metro Diner on Friday, October 18 at 12:00 p.m. If you plan to attend, call Gladys Seigman at 717-764-1840.
