The Homewood Auxiliary has been able to fulfill Homewood’s needs for extra equipment and supplies in the past with the membership drive and a tea held in June.  The membership drive this year is of great importance.  The month of November will be designated as membership month for the Homewood Auxiliary.  A single membership is $3 and $5 for a couple.  You will receive a quarterly newsletter with an update on all the Homewood sites.  Thank you for your continued support and Shirley Lohmann will receive your membership.

​TREE OF WARMTH 2020

Since Sunday School is not meeting yet, we will not be putting the tree up in room 100.  However, we will have a collection box for the Tree of Warmth donations in the gallery of the church.  We will collect the donations from November 15 to December 13.  Donations will be given to the Dover Area Schools.  Now more than ever, donations are greatly needed and appreciated.

​Each year, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Carlisle Truck Stop Ministry, Inc. conducts a cookie collection and distribution event. Individuals from local churches and other groups prepare homemade cookies and place 6-8 cookies in decorated bags along with a note, tract or Bible verse. These bags are dropped off at the trailer and then distributed to the local truck stops, trucking depots, restaurants, motels, and businesses to be handed out to drivers, employees and motel guests. Over 15,000 bags of cookies have been handed out in each of the last several years. The purpose is to let truckers and travelers know that we’re thinking of them, that we are here for them, and to provide a ‘taste of home’ while they are on the road. The Ministry says many drivers have contacted them to say how much they appreciate our thoughts and prayers for them.  This year at Shiloh there will be a table placed in the gallery near the parlor on November 29 to collect cookies until December 13.   On the 13th the cookies will be collected and taken to the Carlisle Trucker’s Ministry.   Please contact Brian Curren with any questions.”

SHILOH UCC - WIFI
Shiloh UCC offers Wi-Fi access to its members and guests.   Our members and guests can access the internet to read the Bible passages referenced during our Sunday Worship.  Our ministers and staff can use the wealth of resources available on the internet to educate our parishioners.  Community groups utilizing our Church can use our internet to aid its members. We can use social media to tell others about our church activities or to share parts of the service that were especially meaningful to them.  Of course, we have taken every effort to keep our internet network secure.  The guest network is separate and sheltered from the secure network in the Church office.  Guests are also asked to agree to the terms of the network prior to joining.  Next time you are in our church, log on to ‘ShilohUCC’ and access our Wi-Fi.
