Community Concerns - This month's Community Concerns bagged lunch meal will be collected Sunday, August 31. Please consider helping with this important mission! We distribut 300 bag-lunch meals each month.

Bag-lunch should include:

Sandwich (of your choice) - indicate sandwich type on outside of bag.
Beverage in a plastic bottle (water is fine)
two or three of the following suggestions:
1. chips or crackers
2. snack
3. energy bar
4. piece of fruit (apple or clementine) or fruit cup

Keep an eye out for an email from Corey Wolf that makes signing up a breeze.

The following donations are always needed for the soup kitchen and pantry: canned soup, cereal, peanut butter, liquid dish soap, dish cloths, and scrubbies. We take these items to New Journey when we deliver the monthly meal.

Community Concerns is always looking for ways to expand our outreach so please share your ideas. Contact Corey Wolf, Community Concerns chairperson, with any suggestions or questions.

Many thanks to all of you who have donated to the Community Concerns cause! All donations (time, food, expertise, money) do make a difference and are greatly appreciated!

Trustees of the Bern Cemetery Co.

Sue Vituszynski urges congregational participation in our efforts to support the 48 residents of Berks Leisure Living. She suggested that we adopt a BLT (Berks Leisure Living Tenant). Support could include sending birthday cards, greeting cards on other occasions, visiting the tenant and perhaps small gifts. Sue V. has sheets with available names and birthday dates.

The holidays are fast approaching so it’s a good time to remind you to remember your friends at Berks Leisure Living. Thanksgiving and Christmas cards are greatly appreciated, and the residents often talk of the nice gifts their friends from Bern bring them. Please help to make the days more special for these residents of Berks Leisure. If you have any questions, please see Sue V. Thanks for all that you have done in the past in this project.
