Many thanks!

Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make our service at Old Drawyers on Sunday a success! Thank you to Jewel for playing the organ, to the choir for a great rendition of "Amazing Grace," to Mary Lou for providing communion and to Pat for helping to serve; to Norm and Neil for ushering, to the Eriksen family for providing lemonade and to all the elders who came forward to help us bless Margie as she leaves for a semester in France! There is nothing better than a service in which so many play a part!

Thanks, also, to everyone who has contributed food to restock "Broken Bread," our food closet ministry. Your kind donations will help keep tummys full in our towns during this difficult economic time.

Worship Time Change Reminder
This Sunday, Sept. 6 is our last joint service for the summer. We will gather to worship at 10:30 a.m. in Port Penn. On Sunday, September 13 we will resume two services: Port Penn at 9:45 a.m. and Delaware City at 11:15 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 12 Choir Workshop
The last workshop in the series the Choir and the Small Church will be held from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Pencader Presbyterian Church and all singers from Delaware City and Port Penn are invited to attend. These AMAZING workshops are fun for all who attend. Please mark your calendars and plan to join in--you do not need to have gone to previous sessions to attend on Sept. 12.

Sunday, Sept. 13--Grandparents' Day and Choir Celebration
On Sunday September 13 we will celebrate Grandparents' Day at both of our morning worship services. Special activities are being planned. All grandchildren are asked to invite their grandparents to church that day and all grandparents are asked to bring their grandchildren with them to worship. We will have Sunday School in both locations that day for those children who wish to attend.

At 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 13 members of our joint choir will join singers from several other small churches in the Presbytery to present the choral works they have learned by attending the Choir and the Small Church workshops. The concert begins at 5 p.m. at Pencader Presbyterian and is followed by a pot luck. Ruth Smith, Mary Lou Reynolds and Bil Derrickson have attended the workshops and we are hoping other members can attend the last one (see above). All members of both churches are urged to come out to the concert and support everyone for their great work!
