MISSIONS
SUPPORT OUR
FOOD BANKS
The first Sunday of every month is Food Bank
Sunday. Please
remember to share with our neighbors in need. Boxes at the entrance to
the church are available for donations of non-perishable food items.
The food bank can always use paper bags, too! Our food bank
representative for Houserville is Amy Ritter.
CLUSTER TRIPS

College have
committed to setting aside 1 day a month to travel to Mission Central.
If you would like to go, we leave at 8:15 AM from the parking lot of
Mount Nittany UMC on Branch Road: the 4th Thursday of each month.
Leaving Mechanicsburg at 3:30 PM to beat the Harrisburg traffic and
return by 5:00 PM.

from 5:30-6:30 PM for a free meal at Park Forest Village UMC (behind
Denny's).

Kit:
Health kits provide basic
necessities to
people who have been forced to leave thier homes because of human

and materials to maintain personal
hygiene, their overall health improves.
