New Bible Study has started at Peckville UMC on Tuesday December 4th. The title is:  The Songs Of Advent, the study is only 4 weeks for the month of December.

 We are collecting food for the local food pantry.
 There is a shopping cart in the back of the Sanctuary.
 Please bring non perishable food items and help stock the pantry at this time of giving. 
Donations of cash will also be accepted by dropping it in  the offering plates, marked for food.

Tompkinsville United Methodist Church, 1448 Heart Lake Rd. (Route 107), Jermyn,
 is sponsoring a New Year's Day  pork and sauerkraut dinner from 2 to 4 p.m. 
The dinner will be take-out only.
The price of the meal is $10 for adults and $6 for children ages 10 and younger. 
Tickets are available at the door or from members of the church.


Because hospitals no longer call Pastor as it interferes with patient privacy, the Pastor asks the family of anyone in the hospital to please call him.

Rev. Shambora may be reached at 570-371-8123


Please send an email or call with a message to Marla as to who may need to be in our community of prayer and for announcements needed for the bulletin by Wednesday evening.  Thank you.
