Our Condolences to Sylvia Nyana “My mother, Kristina (Ketty) Aceng Abai is a loving mother and friend. She is known by children and others as "Ketty", married to my father Daniel Albert Abai (deceased ex-police). Ketty died at 9 PM (Uganda time), Sunday, August 29, 2010, in Lira. She was a homemaker, and grew vegetables for sale, etc. She loves working in her garden. Ketty did not go far with her education, stopped in grade six, can read and write (functional). Left behind 3 girls, a boy died in infancy, 11 grandchildren, and one great grandchild. I love her, and she will be missed!!” Thanks, Sylvia.
Park Forest Day Nursery Preschool Needs Drivers. PFDN will begin its 43rd year this fall with 34 children registered. The tuition-free preschool serves children from low-income families. The program does not receive any government funds and relies on many volunteers to help the children succeed in their learning. Drivers are desperately needed to bring and take home some of the children. One hour out of the driver's week is the time involved to make a difference in a child's life. The time slots available are Wednesday and Thursday noon and Wednesday and Friday morning. Please contact director Gloria Horst Rosenberger 234-2167 home or 231-8492 school if you are able to offer assistance.

Rwanda Well Construction Fundraising When was the last time that you had to walk to a well to pump water for your family? Fortunately, most of us have experienced carrying buckets of well water only to our campsite rather than as a daily task year-round. We have such easy access to water that we don't appreciate the precious resource for its life-sustaining value. Please help Arlene Brown's home for children in Rwanda raise enough money for a nearby well that will also benefit the surrounding community. Our goal is $10,000. Donations may be placed in the bucket in the narthex or included in a check with your offering. (Please indicate "Hope Made Real" or "Rwanda well" on your check.)

Children’s Book Collection The State College Food Bank gives books to children who accompany their parents. They get lots of new children's books at Christmas, but not so many at other times of the year. Our Commission is planning to collect new and gently used children's books by placing a box for them in the narthex. We are emphasizing this collection as part of back-to-school although the collection will continue throughout the year. Thanks.

2010 PSU Football Season: Would you like to volunteer one Saturday to cook or cashier at our church stand? Just write your name on the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the hallway or contact George Hargrove at 237-8063.
Weis and Giant Gift Cards are available for sale each Sunday during the coffee fellowship. The sale of these gift cards has raised $968 for the Church Improvement Fund so far this year. These are pre-paid gift cards that come in amounts from $10 to $100 and work just like cash or a debit card. You get full value for your grocery, pharmacy, or post office purchases (Weis postal station), and the church earns 5%. See Warren Askov.
Altar Flowers... An avenue to memorialize, honor, or celebrate events is available
to the congregation. The church has a brass vase for those who wish to
have flowers placed on the altar in memory or recognition of someone,
or to celebrate a special occurrence like a birthday, anniversary or
achievement. Contact Janet Hinish at 238-0818 to pickup the liner for
the florist to make an arrangement. A sign-up sheet is located on the
bulletin board.
