Every Penny Counts: Just like the widow with her penny, young or old, we all
have an opportunity to help pay down the deficit this year. In addition to
making a contribution using the enclosed pink envelope, you can make a
change to the deficit with your change! Through the end of the year, you are
invited to bring in your change (loose or rolled) to fill
the church social hall. Each week the change will be counted and added to the
operating fund. For those who are able, you may consider matching funds
either for a specific week or for the rest of the season.

New Fundraiser!!!
Scrip is a term that means "substitute money".  Members of the church
purchase gift cards for various merchants and the church gets a percentage of
the cost.  For example, you purchase a gift card for Giant Eagle for $100 and
the church gets 4% of $100.  You spend $100 and get $100 worth of groceries
and the church gets $4 for you buying the gift card from church.  To place an
order call Victor Ing at 330-459-9554, or
victoring@gmail.com  or   Rich Shisler
at 330-815-6977 or
rshis@neo.rr.com.
