First Church's Updates

Weekly Update for First Church of the July 12, 2024

Psalm 24:3-4

3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,

who do not lift up their souls to what is false

and do not swear deceitfully.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we obviously want to do the right thing every chance we get. Making wise choices starts with “having clean hands and pure hearts.”

The Church Picnic is Sunday at the Ponderosa.

Vacation Bible School – A list of needed items is located on the round table in the Overflow Room. You may place the items you signed up to donate at the round table or place them in the Genesis Sunday School Classroom. Please let Mindy Wagner know if you have any questions.

The annual Brethren Open Golf Tournament will be held on Tuesday, August 13 at Iron Masters in Roaring Spring. This is one of the biggest fundraisers for Camp Blue Diamond and Middle PA District. Proceeds are shared from this event and are used to support ministry training, youth events and summer camp. Your donation of $90 includes a round of golf, cart, snacks, free gifts, dinner and chance to win lots of prizes. Registration forms are available from the websites of Camp Blue Diamond and Middle PA District.

Sisters of Faith consists of women from the church gathering once a month on the third Tuesday for dinner. The location changes, the fellowship and friendships strengthen. Women are encouraged to attend when able. Valerie Smith or Janet Imes can answer any questions.

The men gather for breakfast on the third Saturday of the month at The Dream in Hollidaysburg at 8 am. All men are invited.

The Blessing Box is stocked by volunteers with donated items year-round. We focus on hygiene products and cleaning supplies as Trinity United Methodist Church has the Porch Pantry with food items. Donation items include: deodorant, dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, multipurpose cleaner, tissues, toilet paper, tooth brushes, toothpaste, shower gel, bath soap, lotion and sunscreen.

We do not know what we do not know – So if you are experiencing a stressful time, an upcoming surgery or testing and you do not hear from us (like a phone call from your shepherd or Pastor Dave) it means we do not know. Pastor Dave will pray with/for you, anoint you, visit in the office or your home, the hospital as you would like, BUT he has to know. So please reach out.

When we call you from the church, not the prayer chain or the OneCallNow messages, but from the phone in the church, the number will come up as Clearville until the service has completed the transfer to the new phone system.
