Pine Valley Bible Camp Fire Update
|
|
|
|
|
|
As many of you already know, one of our mission partners, Pine Valley Bible Camp, suffered a tremendous loss last Friday morning when a main building on their campus burned to the ground. The building housed their offices, garage, and boys’ bathrooms, and also served as their main retreat facility.
Many people have inquired about ways to help Pine Valley. They recently updated their website so please visit PineValleyBibleCamp.org and click on “help us”. You will be able to access the wish list of lost items, make a financial donation, or learn how you can volunteer to help with the clean-up and building project. Please continue to pray for Matt, Susan and the entire staff as they persevere in reaching God’s children with the love of Jesus this summer. |

Women’s Ministry August Brunch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| What does it mean to be a biblical woman? What does God say about singleness, marriage, and training our children? Women face many challenges in today’s culture and God’s Word gives us wisdom and guidance to meet us in every stage of life. April Swiger has been transformed by the feminine virtues of the Titus 2 mandate, and desires to teach it in a practical, biblical and God-centered way. Come and learn how to be a woman who lives for God and helps others do the same! Join us on Saturday, August 21 at 10 a.m. in the Commons and bring a covered brunch dish. Please sign up at the Welcome Center, online, or call the office. |

United Way Contributions Can Be Made to Our Missions Partners
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Many people are encouraged to contribute to the United Way at their places of employment. There are several NCC local Missions Partners that receive contributions from the United Way. You can channel your contributions to one of these Missions Partners by using the following United Way contribution codes: The Mel Blount Youth Home of Pennsylvania (1233), Pine Valley Bible Camp (931352), Imani Christian Academy (1229849), and The Urban Impact Foundation (9532). For more information on these ministries, pick up a flyer at the Welcome Center today. |
|
|
|
| It’s simple. Online Giving allows your weekly or monthly contributions to be transferred electronically from your checking or savings account, or your credit card directly into the church account. While away on vacation, you have peace of mind knowing that your offering or pledge has been received and is contributing to the work of the church. This is especially helpful during summer months! One easy to use authorization form can start or change your electronic contribution amount. The authorization form is available by contacting Gitti Hajduk at the office (724-935-0909) or completing it online at our Web site. |
