Looking ahead

It was an emotional summer with our dear friends the Beatty's leaving First Church to move on to Bethel Park's Christ United Methodist Church. Our profound gratitude for their friendship goes with them as we all pray for new blessings to follow them to this calling.

The Parish Nurse program has two events planned for the upcoming months. First, after last year's beautiful display of mangers we are planning to again particpate in the annual Christmas Walk in Warren. Usually planned to occur the first Friday in December our sanctuary will again be a warm welcome to people who can come inside, enjoy a cookie and cocoa, and see the various mangers and nativities lent for this lovely occasion by our parishioners. A new feature this year will be an angel corner. Statues of all types of angels will also be displayed while the pipe organ plays familiar carols and seasonal music in the background. It's simply an elegant evening for anyone who ventures inside. Those with manger sets to lend will be able to come into the sanctuary Thursday and volunteers will be on hand to help them arrange and set up the beautiful nativity sets. Won't you join us for this very special, "One Silent Night?"
