Going Home, Coming Home I have had the opportunity to travel back home to Virginia twice during September. The first time was to attend a golf tournament held in memory of my father, Elzie Morris. The reason the golf tournament was named in memory of my father was in recognition of his love for camping and the children it serves. The purpose of the tournament was to raise money for Camp Brethren Woods. Camp Brethren Woods is one of the few church camps that has been able to remain a strong and vibrant ministry. The success of the camp has a lot to do with the emphasis the Church of the Brethren places on church camp as a ministry. The second reason is it has strong leadership in the person of Doug Phillips the camp director. I attended the camp back in the 1960’s in the genesis of the camp’s formation. Through the years the camp has remained relevant, not only to the Church of The Brethren but to other denominations as well. My second trip to Virginia was to attend the funeral service of my cousin, Venda. Venda was 74 and died due to complications of Alzheimer’s. Venda’s husband Billy is a Baptist preacher. The funeral was held in his church. The service was very fitting as we remembered Venda and the years we lived together as family. We were reminded by Venda’s family how important our family was to them growing up. My parents, especially my mother provided a safe place for Venda and her brothers and sister to live when it was needed. As we sat around the dinner table following the service, we feasted on fried chicken, baked macaroni, green beans and corn. We also feasted on the many stories that came flooding back to our minds as we remembered years and years gone by. I share these stories with you for one reason: I have been blessed to have good parents; parents who modeled to me and my brothers and sisters what it means to live out ones faith. My father taught me how to be a good steward, both with my money and my time. My mother taught me to be a person of compassion, particularly to those who find themselves on the fringes. The drive home from my time in Virginia to my home at Stony Creek Mills is 4 and one-half hours. When I was driving home by myself from my last visit, I had time to think about family and church and how both are inseparable. I am grateful to have my roots deep into the soil of Virginia, but I am so thankful for my home in Pennsylvania where my soul is nurtured and my spirit remains alive and well as I minister to you, the good people of St. Paul’s!

September 17, 2019Hello Families,

What an amazing start to the school year! The

children are full of smiles and joy while they

are learning both academically as well as

socially and emotionally. The days have just flown by. In fact we

haven’t had the opportunity to take pictures to place around the

school or on our facebook page. I hope that improves soon.

I love hearing your feedback as you email or visit the preschool

office sharing stories of your child’s preschool experiences so far

this year. While the summer was filled with a TON of hours in

preparation for this school year, it certainly is wonderful to see

the rewards in the last few weeks.

We have begun the process of looking for a three year old teacher

to replace the long-term sub, Ms. Bev. We have lots of little tidbits

to share. They are listed below.

-Ms. Heather

WANTED

We are hiring an Early Childhood Degreed Teacher

for a 2’s and a 3’s program. Approximately 20 hours

per week. The curriculum used is Teaching Strategies

Creative Curriculum and training for this curriculum

is provided, if needed. Immediate opening with

mentoring is provided. Email resume to

[email protected]

ALSO seeking subs: A person that has a heart for

children and is willing to interact, get down on the

floor and play with children is who we are looking

for. We have no idea the amount of hours we will

need this school year, but would like to have more

people with clearances and available as needed.

School Continued: This and That… ◊ Due to mulch creeping up into the toes, and also for running in the gross motor room when we don’t go outside, closed toed shoes are a wise shoe

choice for the students. Sneakers are the best shoe choice.

◊ For girls that wear skirts or dresses, it is best to have a pair of shorts on beneath the skirt. ◊ Label everything! As fall will soon approach keep in mind that sweaters, hoodies and jackets all need to be labeled. You would be surprised how many

children don’t recognize their clothing.

◊ Visiting the potty before class allows the students to enjoy more time learning with their friends in the classroom.

◊ To keep all children safe while moving to and from the playground, we are going to be blocking the driveway from 9:20am-2:30pm.

◊ You will need to enter the school parking lot off of Franklin Street/Rt 662.

◊ REMINDER—Immunization records for each student are due by October 15. Thank you to those that have already turned them in.

◊ REMINDER— The scholastic book orders are to be made by Monday, September 23. Don’t worry if you misplaced your paperwork. You can easily

order at clubs.scholastic.com and use code—H362R. If there are any grandparents that would like to order books for grandchildren, they can use this

same website and code. This includes any church members as well. You may have missed the September 23 deadline, but we will have monthly

book orders. If you have any questions, please email Heather at [email protected]

◊ Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Paperwork was distributed to each student for our trip on October 16 to Savidge Farms.

◊ Did you know…We had an increase in enrollment to 50 students that allowed us to split the afternoon class into two classes. The three year olds are

now remaining downstairs the entire day. After only 2 days we are thrilled with this change. While full day may not be an option for all families, we

welcome any additional three year old to join the afternoon class Tues—Thurs. (Tuition for full day three year olds is $310.) Contact the

preschool office if interested. 610-944-5808

Gifts to the Church: These gifts include the altar flowers, the bulletins, The Upper Room publication and special flower

tributes. For 2020 the cost of the bulletins will be $35.00 per week and for The Upper Room booklet $60.00 per month both of

which are payable to the church. The cost of the flowers is determined by and payable to the florist. We will continue to utilize

the services of Tracey's Flowers in Fleetwood to supply the flowers for church on a Sunday morning. The church secretary,

Samantha Wolf, will place the flower order with Tracey unless you, as the sponsor, choose to order the flowers from another

florist. If you do choose another florist, please let Sammy know your wishes when she contacts you for the wording to be

placed in the bulletins. The schedule of gifts for 2020 does not automatically carry over from the previous year; therefore, we

will begin filling in 2020 Sundays in September, 2019. Please stop by the table in the narthex to sign up for the Sunday you

wish to sponsor one of the weekly gifts. You may also contact Sharon Dreibelbis at 610-916-4848 to indicate your preference

or obtain additional information.

38th Annual CROP Hunger Walk: This is the 38th year for the Reading-Berks CROP Hunger walk. More than a MILLION DOLLARS has been raised over the years! This year’s Walk will be held on Sunday, October 13th at Gring’s Mill

Recreation Area and the goal is to raise $27,000! Registration that day begins at 12:30 pm. The Walk begins at 1:30 pm.

People of all ages can be involved in walking. You walk at your own pace - leisurely stroll or full out run! Walkers can choose a 1-mile, 3-mile, or 5-mile loop, depending on their abilities. All walkers are asked to collect money from sponsors before the event. On-line donations can also be made at: www.crophungerwalk.org/readingpa. Individual walkers can register to receive on-line credit as well. Packets are turned in to the Walk Coordinator the day of the Walk. St. Paul’s Walk Coordinator this year is Tina Koch. Last year St. Paul’s won the Funky Flip Flop Award for most youth walking. 75% of the money raised goes to support Church World Service’s mission to feed hungry people around the world by helping them develop self-sustaining methods of growing crops and raising livestock. 25% of the money raised will go to Helping Harvest (formerly Greater Berks Food Bank), which provides food locally for those in need. We are hoping to do our part to make this year’s CROP Hunger Walk the biggest and best ever! Come and walk with us. If walking isn’t your thing - please sponsor someone else who is walking. Help us as we work together to end hunger - one step at a time.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES: The Mission Committee will again sponsor shoeboxes to be given to children around the world through Samaritan's Purse. These children are, too often, the forgotten, the poor, the marginalized. For $15 we will assemble a shoe box for a boy ages 10 - 14 with a soccer ball, a pump, 3 pencils, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, a spiral notebook, a pair of socks, a toothbrush, and a T-shirt. Or if you prefer, we will gladly assemble a shoe box with age appropriate items for a girl ages 2 - 4, 5 - 9, or 10 - 14; or a boy ages 2 - 4 or 5 - 9 for the same cost. Or you may wish to assemble a shoe box yourself. The campaign will run from Sunday, October 20, when information will be available in the Narthex to Sunday, November 17. You are welcome to help assemble the boxes in the conference room on Sunday, November 17, after the 10:30 service. Questions? More information? Contact Leona Wright at 610-562-7492.

Giving Envelopes for Last Quarter: If you have not received your giving envelopes for the last quarter of 2019 by October 1st, please contact our Bookkeeper, Sue Creswell at [email protected] or 610-721-4742. (If calling M-F, please call after 4:00pm.)

ST. PAUL'S BOOK GROUP: Please join St. Paul's Book Group at 7:00 on Tuesday, October 29, 2019 when we meet in the lounge to discuss The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. Spanning four generations and containing many secrets, this novel tells the story of: A foundling, an old book of dark fairy tales, a secret garden, an aristocratic family, a love denied, a

mystery. The Forgotten Garden is a captivating, atmospheric and compulsively readable story of the past, secrets, family and

memory from the international best-selling author Kate Morton. Cassandra is lost, alone and grieving. Her much loved

grandmother, Nell, has just died and Cassandra, her life already shaken by a tragic accident ten years ago, feels like she has

lost everything dear to her. But an unexpected and mysterious bequest from Nell turns Cassandra’s life upside down and ends

up challenging everything she thought she knew about herself and her family. Inheriting a book of dark and intriguing

fairytales written by Eliza Makepeace—the Victorian authoress who disappeared mysteriously in the early twentieth century—

Cassandra takes her courage in both hands to follow in the footsteps of Nell on a quest to find out the truth about their history,

their family and their past; little knowing that in the process, she will also discover a new life for herself. Our book for November will be The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin. If you have questions please contact Mary Ann Hayes (610-796-9044) or Sharon Dreibelbis (610-916-4848).

FOOD PANTRY: On November 7, 2019 it is our church's "official turn" to serve at the Fleetwood Food Pantry. Each month, on the first Thursday, there are many regular St. Paul's members who help folks from the scheduled churches to provide food for the clients who come to the pantry. When it is our church's scheduled Thursday we can always use additional people to assist our regular team of volunteers. There are jobs for individuals of all ages and abilities. Please consider joining us any time from 3:00 until 6:00 in the cafeteria of the Fleetwood Community Center. Neighbors in Need: Special mission offering: NEIGHBORS IN NEED (NIN) – is a special mission offering of the United Church of Christ that supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. This offering is recognized on October 6, 2019. One third of NIN funds supports the Council for American Indian Ministry (CAIM). Today there are 20 UCC congregations on reservations in North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and northern Nebraska and one multi-tribal congregation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Two thirds of the offering is used by the UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries

(JWM) to support a variety of justice initiatives, advocacy efforts and direct service projects through grants. JWM works on issues such as the federal budget, voting rights, immigration, health care, hate crimes, civil liberties and environmental justice. Neighbors in Need grants are awarded to UCC churches and organizations doing justice work in their communities. This year special consideration will be given to projects focusing on serving our immigrant neighbors and communities.

Stewardship Committee, St. Paul’s UCC St. Paul’s U.C.C “Hook &Needles” Crew – Prayer Shawl Ministry: On January 23, 2008, the first meeting of the St. Paul’s Prayer Shawl Ministry met at 7pm in the Church Lounge with 21 members in attendance. Everyone was very excited to eager to begin their first project! We handed out instructions – one for knitters and one for crocheters. On Feb. 24, 2008, 7 completed prayer shawls were blessed by Pastor Pat and the congregation at both church services. We were “on our way!” Our group meets the first Monday of the month excluding December and July. Since we began our ministry, we have made over 1,300 prayer shawls. Anyone who is in need of a shawl may have one – they do not need to be a member of our church. They can be given for many reasons including baptisms, weddings, retirements, someone undergoing chemotherapy / surgery, poor health, a support person who is caring for someone who is ill, deaths or other sad reasons, etc. If you need assistance signing out a prayer shawl, approach a member of our group and they will assist you. At our meetings, we take turns leading our devotions, lighting our special candle, and closing with all members lying hands on shawls, praying over them and end with a devotional prayer. If you do not know how to crochet or knit, members can help teach you. Please consider joining us anytime. We welcome new members! Recently, we have gained 7 new members!! Over the years we have made prayer squares, prayer stoles for confirmands, crosses to attach to our bookmarks, and small shawls for winter wear. Anyone who would like a prayer square or bookmark can take these items from a basket located in our Narthex. Of course, all of this requires money for supplies. Recently we have had several large expenses and our treasury is almost empty. We need to replenish it and would greatly appreciate any donations to our special ministry. Anyone who donates will receive a thank you note.
