Christmas is a time of giving! In that spirit, the Sunday School is sponsoring a Tree of Love in the kitchen foyer. The ornaments on the tree each represent a person & a gift.

Please keep the ornament with the gift so it goes to the right person. Thanks for caring & sharing!

A movie for the Christmas season. “Believe” – “When everything seems lost hope can find you.” When Matthew considers selling the family business when the economy sours, he meets Clarence, a joyful boy who believes in miracles. Matthew must decide – do what’s best for himself or give faith a chance by opening his heart to help his community. Showing this week at the Selinsgrove & Bloomsburg Cinema Centers.
