Pray….pray…pray…
Please keep in your prayers:
*We have been praying for Sue Schauber's friend, Ed, and Ed's brother, Frank, as they both undergo chemotherapy. Frank has now been put on hospice care. Please pray for all Frank's family and friends and especially Sue and Ed.
*The family and friends of Signe Cox Cavalier and the family and friends of Charles Crompton. Both Signe and Charles, long -time members of First Presbyterian, Delaware City, passed away this month.
*Julia Sidwell, our 100-year-old member in Port Penn, whose son, Jack Lattomus, age 75, passed away last week.
* Our church families as we work together to grow and become more Christ-like.
Thanks…thanks…thanks…
*To Priscilla for organizing a thank you for our Sunday School teachers and for providing our first Lemonade on the Lawn; and to Jill and Judy for weeding and cleaning up that same lawn! To all of the people in Port Penn who have gone out of their way to help Julia through this difficult time.
New…News…News…
*Triple Play Service on Sunday, Aug. 9
We will be joined by members of New Covenant Presbyterian Church as we worship in Port Penn, beginning at 10:30 a.m., on Sunday, Aug. 9. We are sharing our facilities that day while our friends from the Middletown Church get a new roof! We will meet upstairs so dress will be cool and casual! As a thank you for our hospitality we are invited to join the New Covenant congregation at its annual Pig Roast that afternoon. Watch for more details!
*Dr. Scott and Fred
Dr. Tom Scott will fill the pulpit on Sunday, Aug. 16 while Beth is on vacation. Fred Palmer will provide special music and we are thinking of trying lemonade on the lawn!
*Christmas in August
The deacons in Delaware City would like to assemble Advent Bags for shut-ins in both congregations. This will require the help and support of us all! What is an advent bag? Basically it is a tote bag stuffed with 25 small surprises. The surprises are wrapped and a bag is delivered to each of our shut-ins by Dec. 1. This way they have a small gift to open each day as they move through Advent toward Christmas. We will need people to supply the surprises, people to wrap them and people to deliver the bags. While the deacons are organizing this activity they need YOU to help carry it out. If you can donate items for the bags, help with the wrapping or the delivery, please let Dawna Eriksen know. Beth’s mom has gotten Advent bags from her church for many years and the bags include inexpensive items like Christmas ornaments, hand lotion, pot holders, small picture frames, slipper socks and some days candy or something to eat—basically anything church members want to make or purchase at the dollar store. We are estimating we will need to make 10 bags. Dawna has already donated small notebooks and a few other items so you may want to check with her so we don’t duplicate. We are hoping to have this project finished by the end of August so we will not add to our own Christmas stress! Please call Dawna and tell her how you can help!
