• Baby Bottle Campaign

  Baby Bottle Campaign

  By filling a baby bottle with spare change, cash, or checks you are helping Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center recognize the beautiful lives that have been touched and saved through the ministry of our centers. Money raised in our Baby Bottle Campaign will support the life-changing work of meeting the physical and spiritual needs of men and women who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy.

  You will also be helping with additional programs provided at Crossroads, such as; pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, abortion recovery counseling, parenting classes for ALL first time Moms and Dads (planned or unplanned), along with our diaper/wipes and gently used clothing program that we offer to Moms with babies up to size 4T.

  Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center needs you. They can’t continue to provide these services without your help. Crossroads invites you to partner with them in this fun and easy way to make a change.

  Pick up a baby bottle today and return your bottle by Sunday, October 27th, 2019. You will be making a CHANGE for life! Thank you!

• Community Memory Cafe
  

  The Community Memory Cafe continues to meet each month on the second Monday of the month. The United Methodist Church of Ephrata hosts the event, and it is being sponsored as well now by Assured Hospice and Home Health. 

  We welcome all those who face memory issues along with their care partner (this can be a friend, relative, or spouse) from 1:30 to 3:00. We serve a nutritious snack and each month we have a good turn out from all over the community.

   

• AED Training Class

  AED Training Class Scheduled

   

  At 10 a.m. on October 19th in the Fellowship Hall we will host an AED training class led by a certified instructor from the Ephrata Fire Department. We have an AED device in our church for use in medical emergencies involving heart arrhythmia. It can be used to assist someone in distress until trained emergency medical professionals arrive to assess the situation and provide continuing care.

   

  However, the AED can only be used by someone who has received the necessary training so it is important that we have several people trained. If you have had training, it is good to attend to refresh yourself in the proper technique.

  There is no fee.

   

  We are also opening the class to the public, so if you know someone who wishes to learn this procedure, feel free to invite them to attend.

   

• Trunk or Treat 2019
  

  On October 31, we will be having our annual Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot from 4pm - 6pm. If you would like to participate, please let Tresa know. We would like to ask you to please bring some of the candy yourself if you can. We are asking the congregation to please donate candy and/or money to help supplement the candy. We could also use monetary donations for the hot dogs we will be giving out. Please give candy and donations to Tresa.

   

• Holiday Auction

  Holiday Auction hosted by Jenni Bates

   

  Coffee hour following fellowship on Nov. 3 will include a gala, fun auction/raffle of gifts for yourself or others . A perfect time to do a little shopping for the holidays whether you’re looking for gifts or home décor.

   

  Jenni Bates is leading this fund raising event and she’s looking for support from the congregation. Donations of homemade specialties… food or crafts…are important to the success of this fun event. It’s always fun to see and buy the beautiful items created by folks in our church family.

   

  And, it would be a big help to Jenni if you’d give her a call or drop her a note letting her know she can expect your gift items for the event.
