Nursery - Kitchen - Fellowship Hall Needs
|
Saint Paul's West Milton finds itself in a great place, a place of revival and renewal! With this renewal comes the need for items the church no longer has or items that have outlived their usefulness.
The following items would be helpful at Saint Paul's:
Nursery:
Pack and Plays, Baby Changing Table (portable or permanent), clean and in good working order, and Toys
Kitchen:
Plates, coffee cups, glasses, pots and pans suitable for a commercial gas range, and roasters
Fellowship Hall/Classrooms:
Folding or stackable chairs, chair caddies, clean and in good working order, possibly tables, possibly a good studio piano, a long boardroom-style conference table and chairs.
If your church starts spring cleaning and realizes you may have a few items to share, please contact Pastor Tim @ Saint Paul's UCC West Milton via email or the church at (570) 568-1433, and we'll make arrangements to pick them up.

Prayer List and Devotional |
|
He Knew Where He Was Going by Richard L. Floyd
"They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, 'See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles; they will mock him, and spit upon him, and flog him, and kill him; and after three days he will rise again.'" - Mark 10:32-34 Prayer
We want to follow you, Jesus, but we never know quite where you will take us. Prepare us for the journey, and remind us that wherever we follow you, you will be with us. Amen.
Prayers for Penn Central Conference Churches
"Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified everywhere, just as it is among you."
(2 Thess. 3:1)
Beginning in 2018, we have created a prayer list to invite you to pray with us as we pray for all of our congregations. Each week we will list names of various churches in Penn Central Conference hoping you will add them to your prayer list, and hold them in prayer throughout the week.

Hartman Center's 2018
If you haven't received brochures at your church,
2018 is shaping up to be another epic summer at Hartman Center! In addition to popular weeks like Fishing Camp, Soccer Camp and Water World, we've expanded our popular MADD Camp theme into a whole week of arts camps for all ages! Plus, we have added a music-focused Getting Started Camp, Arts and Crafts Camp for grades 4-6 and Creative Writing Camp for grades 7-10.
As always, activities will include hiking, climbing, swimming, arts and crafts, music, theatre, campfires, games, rafting, archery, fishing and navigating the co-op trail obstacle course. Hartman Center is a great opportunity to grow in God's love, form friendships and make memories that will last a lifetime!
Nurses Needed:
Nurses (LPN/RN) are needed for summer camp as well as for the retreat weekends. If you are able to assist, please reach out to Patty.
Hartman Center Work Weekend:
Please join us May 4 and 5 for Hartman Center's
