Join Us on Sunday, January 8th
The Bread and Cup Coffeehouse kicks off 2012 on Sunday, January 8 with a karaoke night from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in Longstreth Auditorium.
You are invited to take your turn at the microphone in front of the friendliest audience in town either to sing a song (accompanied by professional studio arrangements) or to offer a poem, joke, or short story during our time of open microphone. Or, if you prefer, just come to cheer on the others and be surprised at the depth of singing talent we have in our congregation and community.

Getting your finances in order before the year-end
By Jim Thompson
This is the last month of 2011, and there are several things you should consider before the year ends:
+ Pay your pledge in full for 2011 this month.This benefits both our church and the you – especially if you itemize deductions for your federal income tax.
+ Pay some of your 2012 pledge this year. Once again this benefits you if you itemize deductions on your federal income tax. The church will ensure that your payment is credited toward your 2012 pledge.
+ If you had a windfall this year and would like to contribute part of it to our church, pick any effort that you would like to support- for example the Third Century Fund, The General Purpose Endowment Fund (also known as A Piece of the Rock), or any other program of the church.
+ Lastly, as of now, the IRA direct transfer option will end in 2011.

Volunteers needed Dec 6-7
An unusual volunteer opportunity is awaiting you this holiday season early enough so that it won’t take away time from your celebrations, your own gift wrapping.
The opportunity is to help assemble holiday packages for the approximately 3,900 inmates at Graterford Prison. In a huge warehouse on the prison grounds, you will gather with other men and women from area churches and retirement communities to prepare the gifts.
Bags in hand, you will circle tables on which such items as socks, date books, TastyKakes, instant coffee and hot chocolate are stacked high for you to pick up and put in the bags.
