Special Offering for the Philippines

Only a few months ago, Super Typhoon Haiyan wreaked havoc on the residents of the Philippines, and many of the survivors are still living in temporary structures. Although public attention has shifted to other things, our congregation has not forgotten the need for continued aid.  On February 16, a special offering will be received for the victims of Haiyan. Please join us in heeding the call to care for our neighbors, and add your contribution during worship on February 16.

For more information about the ongoing efforts of the Presbyterian Church (USA) on behalf of disaster victims worldwide, visit the website of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance: http://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/pda/who-we-are/

Fox Chase Church reaches out.

A few months ago, during our annual Advent Night, church members donated items for "packages of care."  These packages were sent to our college students and members of the military, to provide some cheer during overseas deployments and final exam weeks. We also included homemade holiday cards.  Here are few photos of the event, during which we packed boxes and decorated our building.

Did you know? There's a Sunday School class for you!

Have you been looking for a Sunday School class? Well, at our church, every Sunday morning from September through June begins with Sunday School! 

At 9:00 am we meet in the Christian Education Building for inter-generational song time.  This is our opportunity to sing and laugh together with praise songs, recognition of birthdays, and fellowship.

By 9:20 am, we move to Sunday School classes. Two children's classes and two adult classes meet to read Scripture, pray, and participate in fun-filled activities. Our goal is to learn together and support each other in our faith journeys.

If you would like to join with others who wish to learn more about God's word, this may be a good place for you.  We hope to see you soon!

VBS - A time of fun and fellowship!

Vacation Bible School 2013 - Operation Overboard!
 

This year in Vacation Bible School our students and volunteers learned to:
  • Depend on God, like Noah
  • Dare to Care, like the servant girl who helped Naaman
  • Choose to Follow, like the disciples
  • Change the World, like Paul
We had a wonderful week of Bible stories, songs, ocean crafts, snacks, and outdoor games. VBS concluded with a program for families on Thursday night, complete with a make-your-own-sundae event in the Christian Education Building.

Our VBS raised nearly $200 for a sustainable fishing project through Heifer International, and about 30 school supply items for People's Emergency Center.

A big thanks to students, parents, and volunteers.  We can't wait until next year!
