Wednesdays: Worship Wednesday

Thursdays: StuMin Chat with Kayt

Seamstresses Needed

Camp Hill UMC is collecting cloth masks, of any design. Our goal is to have 300 masks, individually bagged, available for the congregation upon reentry. Completed masks can be dropped off in the labeled bin by the main entrance or we can schedule a socially-distant pick up, simply contact Drew at drew@camphillumc.org.

Thank You!

Thank you to my CHUM Family for all the cards, the Easter flowers (that filled my apartment with the memory of spring), blanket, and all the love you send my way. I really appreciate it all! Although we are shut-in and it seems so long, we are safe and the staff here is doing their very best. Yes indeed, Christ is Risen! With love, Irene Schmalz

Dear CHUM Family, my mom, Marlene Steltzer, wants you all to know how much she appreciates the cards, prayers, and altar flowers that have brightened her day. I also want to say how thankful and blessed I feel to be part of such a caring church family. With sincere thanksgiving, Lori Adams

Dear CHUM Family, what a surprise to receive the beautiful Easter flowers! You brightened my day! Easter blessings to you! Love, Gladys Saunders

Dear CHUM Family, This is to express our thanks for all the blankets, flowers, cards, visits, and phone calls. We appreciate greatly your love and concern! Love in Christ to all, Bob and Kay Steele

Be The Church

We have heard from many of you who are searching for ways to offer your talents and spirit to your neighbors. We are excited that we are bringing together those who are in need and those who are willing to help. If you are in need of food, someone to run an errand for you, or someone to talk to, we want to connect you with those in the church who care. So, if you are in need or you want to give of yourself, please visit camphillumc.org/bethechurch. Questions, contact Drew Robeson at
drobeson@camphillumc.org.

So, please keep our siblings in Panguma in prayer and those who had committed to being part of the travel team, as we continue to work together to schedule a new time to make that journey to Sierra Leone—we hope, in the fall. If God is calling you to be on the travel team, contact Drew Robeson at drobeson@camphillumc.org.
