The Second Sunday after Pentecost
July 28, 2024 9 am Service
This Sunday, the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, the first lesson tells how King David pushes his royal authority to include adultery and murder. In the Gospel lesson Jesus takes five loaves and two fish and feeds a crowd of 5,000 men, plus women and children. We'll talk about all this Sunday.
We will hold in-person and live-streamed worship. Tune in!
Our new equipment allows us to live-stream worship this Sunday!

Food Pantry Ministry Evolving to Meet Changing Conditions
Vestry Meeting The Vestry met June 13 and dealt with:
Cemetery Rules and Regulations
have been revised and the revision process continues. The Vestry will further consider these at its August meeting.
A bequest from the estate of Ralph Painter of over $18,000 has been received. The Vestry voted to place a portion of this in the General Endowment Fund which is invested in the Church Foundation. All parishioners are asked and urged to make generous provision for the parish in their wills.
Repairs to the shed roof
have been authorized. Vendor will be chosen through bidding process.
Repairs to the Lift have been done.
Locks have been placed on some electrical controls.
New signs on Pennell Road
have been ordered. They will be placed at the road to the parking lot and at Mount Road, using the same uprights as currently.
Parish Vitality Improvement Program (PVIT):
We continue our outreach to Middletown Township. We will soon be seeking input from the congregation on your rating of our parish's vitality in several areas.
As the needs of the hungry in our area change, and the best way to help the food pantries we assist changes along with that, we are adjusting how we ask for your support. We will continue gratefully to accept offerings of money from parishioners, but we will be adding an option to make a food donation at the Church as well. Starting now, our Outreach Coordinator, Leigh Oppelt, has listed in the bulletin the items in particular need at the programs we are assisting. Right now that list is:
DELCO Food Pantry:
Canned soups/chilli/stew; rice; boxed instant potatoes; cooking oil or spray; paper products;
Kensington Food Ministry:
single serve snacks [i.e. chips, cookies, crackers, etc.]; wound care products (bandages, band aids, gauze, antibiotic creams, etc.); small size wipes; and warmers [Dollar Stores sell box of 3 for $1).Any items donated are accepted with thanks, but we will be concentrating on the Items listed in the bulletin.
WAWA HOAGIE SALE
Our Wawa Hoagie coupon fundraiser continues! We are selling coupons at $4.50 each for a Wawa “shorti” hoagie, of which we keep a small profit from every sale. The coupons can be used at all area Wawa’s and have no expiration date. If you are interested, please see Rosemary Bezuidenhout or contact the office.
READERS AND INTERCESSORS ARE NEEDED FOR WORSHIP SERVICES
With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship is no longer a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--two per service [and two for every 7:30 service!]. If you can help, please contact Helen Dunlap or leave a message at the Church Office
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
