*********************************************************************************

The UMW Christmas Dinner will be held TUESDAY, Dec. 4th at the Country Cafe.  Don't forget your gifts for Victims Internvetion Program (VIP).

**********************************************************************************

Join us for Kid's Christmas Fun Day on Saturday, Dec. 15th from 9-11am.  This is a FREE event that is for children ages 3-11.  There will be crafts, snacks, games, and Bible stories.  

**********************************************************************************

Get ready for “Santa’s Elves for Parents’ Day Out” coming on Dec. 15th from 11am-3pm.  This is a UMYF fundraiser that is designed to let you finish (start?) your Christmas shopping.  It is a baby-sitting service that is $15.00 for the first child and $5.00 for each additional sibling.  There will be lots of games and other planned activities for your children.  It is asked that you pre-register (and pre-pay) so that we know how many baby-sitters we will need.  (Here’s an idea....drop your kids off at Kid’s Fun Day at 9am and they will be happy and entertained until 3pm!).  Please call the office to pre-register 729-7011.

***********************************************************************************

The Women’s Prayer Breakfast will be held on Dec. 8 at 9 am. at the church.  Sheila Braum will be the speaker.   Please join us!

Girl Scouts

The Beach Lake United Methodist Church hosts two Girl Scout troops, a Brownie troop for girls in grades 1-3 and a Junior troop for girls in grades 4-6.

 Brownie Troop 430 meets the first and third Mondays of the month from 4-5pm starting in October. All girls from the community are welcome!

Jr. Troop 480 meets on a floating schedule once a month, starting last September, usually on an evening or weekend.  Please contact Allison Francesco at 729-8885 or Darlene Drongoski at 729-7757 for more information.

************************************************************************************ 

 Ongoing....

  PRAYER CHAIN: Anyone having a prayer request and would like to put it on the prayer chain, please contact one of the following:  Rose Branning (729-7049), Irma Sheard (729-7102) or Denise Daub deedaub@ptd.net or 729-7580.

HONESDALE FOOD PANTRY: Collected weekly.  Your gifts will help impoverished families in our area.  We need the following items:  All kinds of crackers including saltines, instant dry potatoes, canned meats, puddings, & bouillon cubes

 BLUMC FOOD MINISTRY collected weekly.

BLUM FOOD PANTRY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Please keep the “eyes of your heart” open to any person or persons who we could present a “Bag of Love” to!  Then please call or email, Karen Hoffman at: 729-8207 or hoffmank@ptd.net .  This is everyone’s mission in caring.  Thank you!

These are items needed for the Beach Lake Food Ministry- "Love Bags":  Jelly, cereal, ketchup, mayo, aluminum foil, baggies, tooth paste, detergent, shampoo, spaghetti

HERE’S A GOOD IDEA!  You may wish to write a check once per month and put it in the donation box next to the red bucket.  We then can buy exactly what we need when we need it and it’s easier for you, plus it’s tax deductible!  God blesses   the cheerful givers! J J J

The Honesdale Food Pantry and the BLUMC Food Ministry are two complimentary ministries for your participation to serve Jesus.  Both can be supported in love prior to any Sunday service.  If each person brought one item, not only would both buckets be over-flowing, but each giver’s joy, peace and love would also overflow!  Thank you and God bless each person who ministers through these vital services.

PRESCHOOL:  We are still accepting registrations for the 2007-2008 school year for those 3 years old by October 1.  Call Colleen Lowe: 729-7011, (office) or 729-8231 (home).
