THIRD COMMUNITY BUILDING GOLF TOURNAMENT NOW SEPTEMBER 25
The Keyser Presbyterian Church Building Committee announced that the third annual Community Building Golf Tournament to be held Saturday, July 31, at Mill Creek Country Club, has been postponed until Saturday, September 25.

FAITH-IN-ACTION FOOD PANTRY.  Always remember those that are hungry.  Peanut butter is a good source of protein.  So are baked beans.

CHANCEL CHOIR rehearsals began on Thursday, August 19, at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary.

4 CENTS-A-MEAL OFFERING.
Thank you for helping the children collect coins to fight hunger. If you would like to participate, it’s easy! 1) Pick up a little jar from the gray cart in the lobby. 2) For each meal that you eat, place 4 cents in the jar. 3) Bring the jar full of money back on the 4th Sunday of the month and the children will collect the jars in their little red wagon. Proceeds go to our local Faith-In-Action Food Pantry and also to the Presbytery’s Bread for the World Fund.

FAITH-IN-ACTION FOOD PANTRY. Thank you food angels for remembering this ministry. It is so sad to carry things in. The shelves of donations are really down. State funded supplies come in but they are limited as to what the funding is for the state and we have to share with the many food pantries around the state. Always needed are soup and crackers, peanut butter and jelly, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, canned vegetables and fruit, ramen noodles, pancake mix (water only to mix) and syrup, tuna, baked beans with hot dogs, and maybe some boxes of jell-o for an after school snack.

HELPING HANDS BOWL-A-THON.  Coming soon!  Get your sponsors and take advantage of an afternoon of free bowling complete with shoes and snacks!

MTN. TOP PREGNANCY.  Always needed--diapers!

HELPING HANDS LOOKING FOR A MATTRESS.  Many thanks to the recent donation of a mattress and box springs.  We had a person that had placed his name with us several months ago and he is delighted to get something to sleep on.  However, we also have another person that is sleeping on the floor!  If you are planning on replacing your mattress and springs of a full or queen we sure could use it to help out this person.  Call Charlotte Hott or the Helping Hands office and leave a message.

HELPING HANDS. Although at the moment our funds are limited, we are involved in helping several displaced families. We are looking for a queen size mattress and springs set and other furniture. We are also involved in an After School Program for the Middle School in conjunction with Keyser Presbyterian Church. More on that later.
